I hate trash talking someone's hard work, but Andre's books actively set me back as a programmer and made me feel stupid. I'm glad they worked for some people, but they really shouldn't have sold themselves as for anyone, but rather for people who already knew C/C++ rather well

> This book is for anyone remotely interested in game programming, from the arcade junkie wanting to test his programming skills to current game program- mers looking for new ways to market their games. This book uses a unique day-by-day approach to teach major concepts, industry terms, and little-known secrets about game programming.
