Try it yourself: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q=directx+9+tutoria l&btnG=Google+Search (might be split up onto multiple lines - google `directx 9 tutorial'). There are relavant results on the first page itself. And it's not just on Google. Try Lycos. You get results. Good ones. Try AltaVista. Heck, try even MSN! Questions like `Is there a function to split foo into fifteen parts?' are okay. They aren't *searchable*. Phrases like `DirectX 9 tutorial' reach out and slap you in the face, screaming in high-pitched voices, "Search me!". If someone hasn't even bothered to try, I, personally feel they have no right to ask. I came across a person the other day who posted a question from his homework. I answered in brief, and he replied saying, "Yeah, I tried that, it didn't work...", and he sent his source. I rewrote it and sent it back. I don't mind doing that much for him, because I admire him for trying. If I can go out of my way to help someone, I can also go out of my way to reprimand. -- Abhijit Shylanath Homepage: http://mudeth.tripod.com/ |

Just to add something to this thread: everybody here should give a read on Eric Raymond's "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way", at http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Daniel K. O.

On the topic, I made a search and I came up to this: http://www.phreak.nu/books/more/ I do not know if this stuff is illegal, so be careful. I saw a directx 7 pdf there towards the end.

I've done a similar thing in the past, on this mailing list I think, of asking for good tutorials for directx and other things, and there's a good reason: Tutorials are a mixed bag sometimes. Some are easy to understand, others are not. Some, beginners find great, others beginners find extremely confusing. For those of you who work for a development company, you may know this by looking at your company's documentation and manuals from a beginner's point of view (get a trainee to follow them - you'll be surprised lol). I'm not saying asking should be the first port of call, do a search of course, but as we are famous for saying in development "don't reinvent the wheel". My $0.02, as has been said before. >From: "Abhijit Shylanath" <mu...@gm...> >To: "Shane Bryldt" <ast...@te...> >CC: "Dev-Cpp mailing list" <dev...@li...> >Subject: RE: [Dev-C++] DirectX Tutorials >Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2003 03:03:55 +0530 > > >Hello, Shane.
