Acknowledgments
I
’d definitely like to thank Emi Smith and Karen Gill for working so patiently with me
in the writing of this book. I’m very grateful to Joseph Hall for agreeing to do the
technical editing. His comments regarding the code samples kept me sane.
I’d also like to thank Course PTR for giving me the opportunity to present such a won
-
derful topic as DirectX.
Finally, I’d like to send a heartfelt thank you to Albert James, my friend and mentor, who
helped me embrace my love for programming and allow it to grow.
