Forewords

Those who know me from long time probably remember how fan I was of Michael Abrash's Zen books.

- The Zen of Graphics Programming. Master the Art of Creating Fast PC Games and Graphics Applications.
- The Zen of Code Optimization. The Ultimate Guide to Writing Software That Pushes PCs to the Limit.

Those two books, where he tells us with enthusiasm some insides of his fascinating job, were certainly among the main reasons why I'm now an independent game developer and 3D engine designer. They pushed the start button!

I discovered that games and graphics applications make the area of software development where challenges and technologies are the most interesting to me, along with providing a very rewarding output.

Hoping that I can share my experience with the same talent than my "mentor", I wish you welcome to my blog and happy reading!
