I'm learning DirectX as part of a hobby project. I've been looking for some good online resources for DirectX9 (using C++, if that distinction matters), but haven't found anything that's a) great for a beginner and b) up to date.
Any recommendations?
When I started using DirectX I found this to be the best resource around for basic stuff: http://www.directxtutorial.com/
When you start reaching an intermediate level they want you to pay a subscription but all the good basic stuff is free. Tutorials are clear and literally step-by-step.
This is website is not bad at all either: http://www.toymaker.info/ - with some good project downloads.
If you have problems the best place to go in my experience is http://www.gamedev.net/ , they have great articles and forums with plenty of so-called gurus.
Introduction to 3D Game Programming with DirectX 9: Not an online resource, but that book was very helpful to me.
There's also the DirecX SDK documentation, which should be your definitive resource.
Gamedev.net is probably a good place to look
