I believe we all make tutorials to see what we can accomplish. I intend on writing tutorials to go from complete newb to DirectX. However, many of us repeatedly write tutorials about the absolute basics to start from. I believe we should write tutorials on what we''re trying to learn. If we do it, write about it, and compile it, it will retain in our heads much better.

So basically my thoughts on this are, if you''re beginning DX and wanting to make a game, write a DDraw init tutorial. After you''re done writing up through getting the game engine to work, then write the C++ tutorials. Then you''ll get only what you need for the C++ aspect. We don''t exactly need (and it is discouraged by Andre Lamothe) multiple inheritance to write a game... esp considering Quake''s source is in C.
