I was wondering which book is better Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Guru's or Programming Role Playing Games with DirectX? And how much C++ is used in both books, since I am just starting to learn C++ , I got the book Accelerated C++, since I already know C and a little bit of the Win32 API. I was going to get Windows Game Programming Guru's but I just decided to get Accelerated C++. I'm asking since I was going to get a game programming book after I read a few C++ books which might be a while though.
