Thanks, I have already looked over them though.

The MSDN link seems like more of a reference for someone who is already familiar with shaders.

The introduction to HLSL thread doesn't quite have the depth that I am looking for, although it is some good information in the right direction.

I guess I am more or less looking for some reading suggestions, I've looked on Amazon and found a few books but I was hoping for some feedback from this community specifically.

Thanks for your reply,
