I recently just picked up the newest luna book on DirectX 10. Just when I thought DX9 was very clean DX10 takes it to a much higher level. The logical flow of the API is much better.

It is going to take me some time to get into this however. I have made the choice to step back from C++ somewhat. I love C++ don't get me wrong but I can't help but be intrigued by SlimDX. If I did not at least check it out I would not be content with myself. I am always enthusiastic about new ways to do things. For this I must shift to C#.

I have not used C# in quite a few years so it is going to be a decent shift in mindset. Going from a native way of thinking to a managed way of thinking so far has been awkward. I am going to be porting the code to C# as I go so I will make sure to post up lots of code as I move along.

This will not be a port purse because I don't think a direct port is going to be pretty. After all the code should look and feel like C#. So it will be more of a redesign. Sharp Develop is up and running SlimDX installed. Luna book is in hand lets see what I can do.
