Why didn't you put the shader language used somewhere on the cover? That's important to someone wanting a book on shaders.

For those wondering, its Cg, as it shows "with examples in Unity" isn't surprising.

Even though it's in very small print on the cover, I have no idea what shaders Unity uses so that is not helpful. He could name the book '2D Shaders for Unity' if that's what it's about.

Yea, agreed, its also not mentioned explicitly until about half way through the book (at a quick scan) that examples will only be in Cg.

Well.. It says with examples in Unity, I assumed people know that Unity uses Cg, either way, I teach techniques, not a language, so all the techniques can be used in any other language :)

I'll keep your suggestion in mind in case I do an update of the front cover. Thanks!
