Okay, my second post in the same forum in one day. This is a personal record . Here''s my question, are there any good books on Network API? Should I just buy a Direct X book and study up on DirectPlay or should I find a book (if there is one) on Winsock. It would also be nice to have a book on OpenGL, so if anyone could suggest one that covers all aspects of OpenGL that''d be nice. If you could go the extra mile to point me the the link on Amazon.com where I can buy it and your personal opinion on the book I would greatly appreciate it. I don''t want to use online tutorials because I can''t carry those everywhere I go due to lack of a notebook. Thank you for your help. Bleu Shift - www.bleushift.tk
