C++/Game Dev Books
Hey... I just got done reading Beginning C++ Game Programming by Michael Dawson. . . I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good book to move onto the next skill level for C++ programming/game dev.

Thanks.

I highly recommend checking out www.gamedev.net for a very fine selection of books for C++ game development.

Also, there are other programming languages that might interest you in terms of game development as well. The more stuff you have under your belt, the better in the long run.

Good luck!
