Frank Luna's book on Direct3D is probably the best direct x book there is for an intro.

Here's a few I recommend:

 

http://www.codesampler.com/dx9src.htm

http://www.dhpoware.com/demos/index.html

 

I also recommend the GPU Gems books series as well as downloading the NVIDIA SDKs:

 

https://developer.nvidia.com/gpu-gems

https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-graphics-sdk-11

 

NVIDIA has alot of great stuff and really useful code samples that I've been fascinated by for years!  Most definitely do not pass these up.

Can anyone suggest where i can download directx 11 for c++ for windows 8

Whether you're using AMD/ATI or not, those samples should work (the Direct3D ones at least) and aren't always vendor specific.

 

Anyway, you can download the DirectX SDK here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6812
