Wow, cool, we’re #1 for DirectX books, and the book’s not actually shipping yet (the second printing should come out in May, with little fixes). Click on that “DirectX Software Programming<\/a>” link and you can see the competition we beat out:<\/p>\n

Yes! We displaced\u00a0that best-selling book on DirectX programming, the classic Air Fryer Cookbook<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/em> sadly, the next day we fell to #2. That cookbook is an unstoppable computer programming guide, as it’s also #1\u00a0in many other programming book categories, such as for\u00a0OpenGL<\/a>,\u00a0Java server pages<\/a>,\u00a0Cold Fusion<\/a>, and\u00a0XSL<\/a>, not to forget\u00a0CAD software control<\/a>. That said, sous vide cooking controls PHP programming<\/a>, classic authors top Ruby programming books<\/a>, and, appropriately, the Harry Potter Coloring Math Book controls Flash programming<\/a>, beating out books on machine trading, Excel, Javascript, Adobe Animate CC – aha, at #15 there is actually a book about Flash.<\/p>\n
