Query: A Disapointment

This seems like a book on DirectX theory, but not a programming guide. The examples are somewhat obscure, and hide the relationship of DirectX and windows through wrappers.Most of the Microsoft Press books I've got are great, except this one. This book is a true disapointment, don't expect it to get you developing DX apps unless you've got lots of other resources and time.To put it bluntly, "This book sucks!" Any other DX book is bound to be better.
