hey all, xmas is coming up... whats the best coding book i could ask for for the money (we're very poor)
lol
LOLZ!
seems like you have been able to rip a lot of stuff off till now, why would you need a book. com'on?
Not really a coding book, but I've always found real time computer graphics by Tomas Akanine-Moller a good read. (Might be a bit on the expensive side though.)
www.google.com is all the code book you'll ever need.
Most programming books, or at least the ones they choose to teach from at my uni, seem to be really expensive. Like 70 euros or more.
Maybe you should stick to free online material and think of another present. :)

yeah, perhaps thinking of something else would be good... but thing that sux, i might not have google after a month or so, i'm moving to Vermont, i hear they dont have internet in the boonies
hehe
I suck at coding, but most of what I learned about graphics programming is from here: http://student.kuleuven.be/~m0216922/CG/
Once you understand the examples I think you'll find out how to do many more effects yourself.
@ linde: Incredible link there! I'll turn it into pdf, and it'll be my bible :)
i've got a pretty good knowledge of Windows XP
well... perhaps you should specify more... What kind of coding book is it that you need? A book about a language and if so, which language? About something else such as using an api such as DirectX or OpenGL?
Get Stroustrup's C++, it's been around for a while and you should be able to get that for almost nothing from a second hand dealer or such. :-)

just buy this one:
Depends what kind of book you're looking for... Anyway, my favourite coding book is Writing Solid Code by Steve Maguire.
well i think you probably should go for that bjarne stroustrup book. at least he invented c++. iam not coder, but many people say it is good
and davinci code is probably also nice ;-)

Pc Underground. It is a bit old now, but it was the book with wich I started in the demoscene. I know a lot of people considered it lame when released, but now my be a good point to start learning about oldschool effects.
Anyway, I think that with Google we don't need reference books anymore.

From Amazon: "10 used & new available from $0.95". It looks cheap.
"How not to program in C++" rocks.
