So i'm using directx sdk to start a 3D game project from scratch.
I'm using visual studio 2012 got the SDK setup and everything. So i have a few questions about pointing me forward in the right direction.
1. where could i find good teaching tutorials for this type of thing ?
2. How would i start the project off like code wise ?
Thanks alot for the help

That's a huge question.
If you google searchs this (programming 3d game engines) you'll be pointed in the direction of a lot of good resources, but it's a huge undertaking.
Here's my todo list when starting on a new platform,
Get your screen setup and clearing to a color.
Draw your first triangle
Draw a cube
Get input working
Create a free roam camera
Draw multiple cubes
Draw a fullscreen quad
Draw a smaller quad on top of my scene.
This will get you in the direction of getting a game with 3D and 2D elements.
I got my first start (using DirectX 9) with Chad Vernon's tutorials. He provides an object-oriented framework in his tutorials to build the graphics code on.
After you have done with the list of seabolt
next is to connect some physics engine to directx.
Thanks for all the great feedback i will take it all into account and make something out of it
