Programming Vertex, Geometry, and Pixel Shaders, Second Edition

What, this book? [wink]

But why is it out of print already?, im not fan of reading online, i prefer to read a book, but its excellent this has been made free for all to read.

Is it the same as this book though?

Likewise, and we are working on something in this respect but unfortunately nothing to be announced publicly at this time.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're the same thing. It had an interesting history...


Thanks for your interest!

As far as I'm aware it has never actually been in print (yet).

From what I recall of reading Jack's dev journal, the deal fell apart with the publisher and instead of the authors letting their hard work go to waste, they released the book for free through GDNet. A print version is still planned, but you'll have to wait until one of the authors chimes in to this thread to find out when.
