Query: Worthwhile

This book gives a good understanding of some basic techniques of 2D game programming. This is a good book for a beginner, but after reading this you will probably not have the knowledge to create professional games (but you might be able to impress some of your friends). What I mostly got out of it was the ability to display graphics. The last seven chapters were kind of worthless. It could have given some more information on playing music. Although it had some faults, it was still a pretty good book and I would recommend it to anyone who isn't very experienced in this area of programming, but has a good understanding of C.
