Hello, guys can anyone suggest me some books for learning those, i need some best books and using the latest version if there is one

For Directx - Beginning DirectX11 Game Programming by Allen Sherrod and Wendy Jones ( much easier )

OR

Introduction to 3D Game Programmingwith Direct3D 11 by Frank D. Luna (much harder but better)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OR
OpenGL® SUPERBIBLE 5th edition by Richard S. Wright

This site is fantastic for both OpenGL and DirectX

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

thanks guys i will try all of them

Here's a few I recommend:

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. smile.png

ya but i use amd to power 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
