Beginning OpenGL Game Programming, Second Edition

The source code that came with the book just flat out doesn't work. You can open the projects, but you can't open the source. I went to the publishers website and downloaded the fix. The project files don't work either, but you can at least see the source code in the src directory now. Bad/broken source isn't uncommon and though annoying, isn't a big deal. But the total lack of support shown for this book is amazing. Most authors have a website for their books. This guy has a picture of the book and a table of contents and nothing else. The publisher gives a link to an offsite download for the fix, that doesn't 'fix' anything. They leave you with no where to turn and a book that refers to source that you have no chance in hell in getting to work without already knowing what you need to learn. I'd give it a negative star if I could, it was a complete waste of money. Given time, I've no doubt you can get the source to work, there's plenty of opengl sites to fill in the gaps. However, I bought the book so I wouldn't have to go to these sites. Save yourself some money and go to these sites or find another beginners book.
