Getting started with DirectX

[farhan3d]

Hey All,

I am developing a basic engineering design application and I feel the need to incorporate some graphics in my program. I have no prior experience of working with graphcis in visual c++, but am eager to learn DirectX.

Could you guys point me in the right direction? I see plenty of stuff out there but it all seems a bit high level for me. Can you recommend any sites or even books that I can consult to get started with Direct? I would only be needing the graphics, no sounds or animations at this stage.

Thanks!

Try this: http://www.directxtutorial.com/Tutorial9/tutorials.aspx
I've learned there how to use DirectX, tutorials are very simple to understand.

It just shows how to work with DirectX...
If you want to build your own C++ classes you can do it
