language agnostic - Looking for introduction to game development on PC book with sample code. (not console) -


I know that was the same thread and someone posted a link to gamedev but after a quick glance, I could not find the game development book that introduces the development of the game but is not programming. I found a book on Amazon which was teaching game development to someone who does not know about the program and all the example console games It is not what I'm watching. I think the question is how does someone learn how to write games?

Everything I see is a book with some simple simple examples, so that I can hack them and learn from it.

EDIT: There is no language, but I prefer C ++ or C #.

EDIT2: These were all excellent answers, thanks guys! Although I could only choose one to accept, it is a desire to choose "rating" for each check instead of just the check mark.

If you are looking for an easy place to start with Game Programming in C # XNA is probably possible that what you want is the best way to stay with the latest developments and the latest version of the library and the equipment is just to go there. There are a bunch to help you see the real code and teach you all the fundamental principles. We do.

Books are not always the best place to know the development of video games because they become so obsolete sooner, however, I have bought and read some books on this topic. I can recommend:

(I read the first edition, but I'm sure it is similar)

and

I Recommend Against I think it was written poorly. I certainly recommend against specific books or products, but in this case I think it's fair.

XNA is cool because it allows you to develop only for Windows PCs, but this is also the Xbox 360. Programs that you can join and display your game and display on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

sql - dynamically varied number of conditions in the 'where' statement using LINQ -

I am using my first project LINQ (in mvc), so maybe there's something very simple that I remember. However, a day of searching and experimenting does not work, so it works. I am trying to write a LINQ query (Linux to SQL) in which in many cases where the statement is different from an OR or an AND. We do not know how many conditions are going in the query till runtime. This search is for filter control, where the user can choose multiple criteria for filtering. Select from table where table.col = 1 or table.col = 2 or table.col = 7 .... 'Other number of conditions Before I just create the SQL query as a string, while looping over all the situations. However, it seems that there should be a good way to do this in LINQ. I tried to use Expression trees, but they had a second thought for this moment on my head, where the lambda function was to be executed inside the statement such as: values ​​for matchingRows = matchingRows for each value Where (function (row) row.c...

asp.net mvc - Dynamically Generated Ajax.BeginForm -

I have a problem with ASP.NET MVC Ajax forms. I generate many Ajax form in a table such as: & Lt; Input type = "submit" name = "activity" value = "add activity" / & gt; & Lt;%}% & gt; & Lt; / TD & gt; & Lt; / TR & gt; & Lt;%}% & gt; So far so good. When I post one of those forms, it gives a partial view in a div, and in this new partial view a new Ajax Beginnform (which is not in Genesis form) This second Ajax Beginnorf is exactly like the ones I got on the table, but when I post it, I do not get the "Ajax Post", but a normal post that sends me to a new page, I do not know whether the two Ajax forms What is the reason for the difference between, why is it the "dynamically generated" Ajax form behaves like a normal HTML form? By the way, I know that I can do it in different ways using javascript, but I would like to understand whether it can only be done using MVC helplars and Ajax lib...
