Great Ray Tracing Book

I'm a beginner programmer in C++ and I think this book was great to start me off in Ray tracing, since I didn't have to learn a whole new language. One of it's great advantages is it's reuseability of OORT(The programming library used in this book), since it's object oriented and so is C++ this book makes ray tracing and C++ go hand in hand. Although a little old, this book is great for anyone who's intrusted in ray tracing.
