Query: Good programming wisdom

The book covers many topics. I was interested in more info on how to use Lua and was glad to see some pages about it (about 50 pages worth). The code is neat and easy to read. You may not like the idea of having to download the code though. All coding is done using DirectX. Was hoping to see some use of obj (even better fbx) file loading of meshes and wanted more info on XAudio2 or XACT3 but no such luck. So, it has a dated feel about it. Otherwise still a good book. BTW Thief was a good game.
