I don't actually own a copy of this book so I can't give you an opinion other than I have seen it recommended several times and Frank is a very active author who maintains and answers questions about the book on his website. I wish all authors cared this much about the people who buy their books

David Goben did a port of this book for an early version of Managed DirectX and I recently updated this source so that it compiles against the newer versions. As always, if the source is useful to you please consider buying the book.
