DirectX Tutorials

see the link at the top of gamedev that says articles?
click it

then look for directx

and use forum FAQs. there are links out there..

www.andypike.com has some really nice tutorials for DirectX 8 which only take a bit of tweaking to make them into DirectX 9. Although, the source code links don't work and after tutorial 3 he only writes about what he adds (look in the comments for a few fixes), but I'd say just wing it and you'll be fine.

Can't go wrong with our local boy DrunkenHyena. Careful though, he gets a bit rowdy if you give him the wrong beverage. ;)
