hey guys I have Visual Studio 2012 for Windows 8, I wanted to know if I can use tutorials using C++ 2010 for directX development? Or have the APIs changed from the update that they'll be useless in my case?

No you can use the VS2010 tutorials, the only thing that has changed might be the project or solution file but it should be able to upgrade that for you.

It depends if you want to develop for desktop applications or for Windows store applications. 99% of the code will be the same, but there are a few differences.
