Any good DirectX/Direct3d tutorials?

[dude8604]

I'm trying to learn graphics using C++. I decided to use directX for some reason; I'm not exactly sure why. Anyway, are there any good DirectX books/tutorials for beginners? Also, I don't want to learn MFC, so no MFC tutorials please.

Some time ago I had the same need (graphics with C++) and after some digging around I got "Zen of Direct3D Game Programming" from Walsh... don't be fooled by the "game" in the title, it just really teaches DirectX 8.0 basics; it 's OK book for beginners I'd say. No MFC involved.

If you're really skilled C++ programmer, you might want to look elsewhere, since this book is handling many basics as well.

Go to www.amazon.com, search books "directx" and/or "direct3d" and read what people are saying, why they like or dislike a book. Find one that fits your current level of expertise.
