    A decent one is _Managed DirectX 9: Graphics and Game Programming_ by
    Tom Miller (the main author of the managed wrappers for DirectX). It's
    a great overview, but once you get into details in any one area you'll
    need more. Unfortunately, in the managed world, I'm not sure there
    always *is* more. The MS documentation itself is incredibly sparse.

    p.s. do you play Pete on Smallville?
