  Can anyone reccomend a good article (I tried to search) for beginning DirectX in C++??   
  What other experience/background do you have?Are you a complete beginner to programming in general? have you experience with C/C++ already?Are you new to multimedia programming, or have you used other API's - OpenGL/SDL etc..?Is your goal to learn multimedia programming or to just learn the API - they are different (albeit subtley) things [smile]The SDK is a good place to start looking for general information: DirectX Graphics, DirectInput and DirectSound.hthJack   ;  In addition to a fantastic reply by Mr. JollyJeffers, I would suggest looking at the forum FAQ. This will put you on the right track.I hope this helps.Take care.   ;  I have experiance in Managed C# Game Programming using DirectX, nothing about OpenGL. I have some experiance in just plain C++.
