Great book. I got it a while ago, and it is very nice. Two editors of gamedev.net wrote it. it first goes over basic win32 stuff. Finish the www.winprog.org/ tutorials and complete them after the Win32 part of the book for a better understanding. Then it goes on to OpenGL. After you can do all these OpenGL demos, you learn the parts of DirectX you will be using, and finnaly put them all together into a simple 3-D game. Note that it doesn't really cover 2D games, and you might have to reread some content to understand it. I highly reccomend it to anyone who wants to make games with OpenGL.
