Good books or tutorials for beginning Direct X with c++

c++, directx, winapi

Solution

This is a good tutorial. I've started with it and it was helpful. That is not a book, but good enough tutorial with step-by-step explanations.

Problem

I'm pretty familiarity with c++. I'v made a few games like tetris and solitaire with it. But what I would really like is some nice textured graphics for those games :-p GDI just isn't doing it for me anymore. Really, all I would need to know is: - DX scene initialization - making something simple like a round rectangle and basic shapes - ability to move those shapes in X and Y - add basic bitmap texture - dispose of the objects anything that would cover these concepts would be really useful Thanks
