MDX is really nice and easy to use. However, to pirk your performace to good quality you really have to be concious and know your C#. Tom Miller's MDX9 Kick Start book is great. I already can handle all of the rendering basics and do it on my own. Next I am going to do his Game Example can't wait for that one. However, I am still not ready to do my own engine. I need the more advanced topics that come later in the book to even get anywhere.

On another note, I just started college again. Now on my second year. Time flies by so fast it is scary. I am really bogged down with math this semester. I must do my Discrete Structures(logic math great for programming). Also, I must do my Calculus course. So far neither is that bad yet. Discrete I took once already. However, got a C- so when I switch schools it did not transfur over. This time I will do much better. However, I hope I do great in calc as well.
