I have recently finished a book called Sam''s Teach Yourself C++ in 24 Hours, and am wondering where to go from here. What book would be approperite for me now?

if you wanna get into windows game programming and directx stuff, then definately get the book "Tricks of the Windows® Game Programming Gurus" by Andre LaMothe.
its one of the best, if not the best, books out there to begin learning windows + directx from.

I recommend it too

Thanks for the input.
I Was planning on getting that book anyways because I''ve heard it being praised often on this board, but I didn''t know if I was ready to get into game development after just reading one C++ book.
