question2:
can I setup dirctx8.0 and dirctx9.0 on my computer at the same time?
Yes, you should be able to install the SDK's side-by-side. As long as you keep the compiler directories straight, you should be good.
As far as I remember there is not much of a difference between DX8 and DX9.
The Priciples are still the same. Interfaces haven't changed very much, and the SDK docu will help you solve problems related to that very easy.
The biggest changes probably were made to D3DX.
So you might find some extra functionality in the later SDK.
So go straight ahead, and gl with the game.

Then you have downloaded(?) an old edition of the book. The 2nd edition is based on DX 9.
Just a friendly tip: Try to learn what the code does, instead of just copying it directly from the book.
You don't need to install anything side by side. The latest DirectX 9 SDK comes complete with all the DirectX 8 SDK (except documentation) so if you have DX9, you can #include <d3d8.h> etc and you're good to go.
[EDIT] Ignore me. bakery2k1 has just pointed out in this thread that actually the DirectX 9 SDK does not contain everything you need to compile DX8 applications. Sorry.
