I like the books about game programming in c c++ c# directx and opengl. Don’t have one that’s my favorite as they all full of broken example code.

Ok wait this series its great

Um, it was mainly from trial and error. After I read PHP 5 for Dummies, I just started to practice what I learned. The best thing you can do, though, is take a script you want to know how it works and just look at the code. See what lines does what and so on.
