Ok, is this bad boy going to be on the shelves Oct 18th like amazon says? Will it have tutorials on FBOs? VBOs? Shadowmapping? This is more for Dave and Kevin

I believe its still on target for that date, and yes, yes and i believe so to the tutorials
Yes to all the above.

Btw, Kevin ended up not being involved with the book. It was me and 23 contributing authors.

Mostly because I just didn't have time to ensure it was of high quality. It was decided that Dave would take it and use contributing authors so it would be a better book than if it was just us. I don't know how Dave feels about it, but I think book might not have been completed if we had tried to do it alone (just because of time). You would have seen a dramatic decrease in GameDev.net updates as well.

So, hope I didn't disappoint anyone. It's going to be a great book, though. Dave and the authors did a good job on it.

Well, from my point of view I think you made the right choice, if not I wouldnt have got a chance to work on it [wink]
Hooray! I've been looking forward to this one, hopefully it'll come in with more haste than those Intel Manuals (they probably ran out after Sneftel's tree-killing fest...)
Hmmm it't the 19th and no word of the book being out yet? I looked on Amazon not been released? Do I even waste my time going down to B&N to look...
