You''re in luck. Right here on Gamedev.net, there is a board ran by a guy named Teej. He covers DirectX in detail, and he''s the best on teaching the subject of all I''ve seen. The site is

or you can just look for the Interactive Game Tutorial. Ironically, he is making a tetris clone, so this is perfect for what you''re looking to do.
Good Luck.
