   DXUT - tutorials or help getting started...
  Does anyone know where I can find tutorials on DXUT? Or someplace I can get help starting with it?   
  Just read DirectX SDK help: DXUT Programming Guide;  So, you already looked at the sample programs in the SDK (like SimpleSample) to see how they use DXUT and found it overwhelming?  If so, then the place to start is not with DXUT, since DXUT wraps a lot of fairly basic stuff that you should know before you use it.  Start with a good intro to DirectX book that shows how to do it with Win32.I found understanding DXUT was fairly simple after I read the Intro to DirectX by Frank Luna.;  We added some pre-DXUT as well as DXUT based tutorials for Direct3D 10 which you might find useful.  They can be found in the Direct3D 10 tutorial section of the samplebrowser.  However for a beginner I would recommend learning and getting comfortable with Direct3D 9 for now.  Much of the knowledge learned will care over to Direct3D 10Jason
