Windows Game Programming with Visual Basic and DirectX

Que, 2001

I’ve been fascinated by computer games for years. Some of my first experiences date back to the late 1960s when I was in junior high school. I was allowed to skip math class once a week to use an old teletype terminal. I spent hours punching a tic-tac-toe game written in BASIC onto paper tape so that I could play it when I...

HLSL and Pixel Shaders for XAML Developers

O'Reilly, 2012

Pixel Shaders are one of the more powerful graphic tools available for XAML programmers. I first encountered them in the Windows Presentation Foundation 3.5 SP1 release and was completely smitten. It didn’t take long to learn that I could create custom shaders, commonly called Effects in WPF, and add them to...

Xcode 4 (Developer Reference)

John Wiley & Sons, 2011

After a few years with Xcode 3, my first impressions of Xcode 4 were mixed. At first, I thought the redesign was unnecessarily rigid and proscriptive. I missed Interface Builder's floating windows and object palettes, and I couldn't find a convincing reason for the enforced three-way window split in the editor.

Over time, I...

Electronic Value Exchange: Origins of the VISA Electronic Payment System (History of Computing)

Springer, 2011

Most anywhere in the developed world, I can use a small rectangular piece of plastic, issued to me by a bank I have never visited, to obtain local currency or purchase goods and services directly from a merchant. The cashier and I may not even speak a common language, and the face of my card may look quite different from those carried...

Lighting for Digital Video and Television, Third Edition

Focal Press, 2010

I participate in a number of Internet forums related to video production and often field questions about lighting issues. After a thread where several of us explained to a beginner why he needed to light his videos, one wag posted: “Remember, without lighting all you have is a black picture.”

Facetious,...
