Tutorials:
www.drunkenhyena.com
Books:
Introduction to 3D Game Programming with DirectX 9
Programming Role PLaying Games with DirectX
Beginning DIrect3D Programming
Heh, theres a lot. Go to www.amazon.com and search for DirectX or Direct3D and youll get a lot of books. My personal recommendation to you is go for the Programming Role Playing Games with DirectX (2nd edition) if you really like making games
. Once you get more advanced, there is a book coming out called Programming a First Person Shooter with DirectX

Thanx
I appreciate your help, but all the sources you sent me are for C# and Im looking for MC++. I already spent a couple of hours at amazon and chapters but I found nothing about Managed DirectX and MC++.
Does anybody know where to download the teapot sample in Managed DirectX and MC++ just to get me started?

Whoops, I didnt see the word Managed at the title of your post.The books that I listed are for UnManaged C++.
Just a hint,
I dont think there are a many (if any lol) Managed C++ DirectX books/tutorials. The closest you can get is C# and VB.NET.
I usually program in VB.NET, but there arent a lot of Direct3D books for VB.NET and C#, so I look for the unmanaged Direct3D books (there are a lot), and learn from that.. translating my code into VB.NET code.
:-\ Just find a method that works for you I guess. Again, I know that VB.NET and C++ (managed) syntax is different, but if you find translating the code works for you, go for it!
My point is, there isnt a lot of Managed DirectX for C++ documentation out there, so you gotta find an alternate method :-\.

Hey man,
I wasnt suggesting that you move to C#, I was suggesting that you use those books (written in Unmanaged C++ or C#), and try to associate their code with your code.
Well, C# is a great language, hope you ahve better luck with it. Its a big step up from Managed C++ (well, im speaking from a different perspective, for me it was a big step down to C++).
If you ever need any help on VB.NET or C# see my site (www.vbprogramming.8k.com), even though its in VB.NET, it should be very easy to convert to C#. (use Semicolons, declare variables differently.. minor differences.. which actually can get kind of annoying)

Managed C++ sucks. Either use unmanaged C++ or C#. If need be you can call C++ methods in C# with PInvoke.
