I have been reading reviews on this book (Programming Linux Games and wanted to ask you fine people that may have read it, if it was worth the money or should I look else where. I have been programming in Win32 and I am comfortable with that. Just making the jump to Linux coding has been a little different. Thanks in advance! GRELLIN

This book is AMAZING!!!

It goes over all aspects of Linux programming. Compiling, to programming, to makefiles, to distributing.

Wow, again thanks for the replies. I bought the book this morning, and read the whole thing today. I am very impressed with the format and will start the code examples tomorrow. It really answered a lot of questions I had about where to start.
