How well do you know C++ already?
www.directxtutorial.com is decent for directx related content, this website also has plenty of articles and such as well.

Hello, I would suggest you're very familiar with all the major concepts of C++ first. If you're I would suggest starting with SDL to make a few games then move onto Direct X.

Good Luck!
Or for sdl tutorials you could try sdltutorials.com

To be totally honest with you,

The language you use for coding your game purely depends on the library you're going to use. Some libraries are easier to use than others. If you currently don't know the basics of programming I suggest you start there.

Secondly, developing games with graphical interfaces adds another level of complexity that you might not want, if you're starting off. Try a text based game.


If you still feel like making a graphical game start off with tetris and this guide http://www.gamedev.net/reference/design/features/makegames/
If you don't know C++ at all and try to make a game with it as your first project, your brain will melt the moment anything goes wrong (which will be fairly often).

So... how much DO you know of C++?
