Hi Kevin, Well, for the language basics you don't need any specialized tutorial or book. Any good book like C++ for Dummies, Thinking in C++, or Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days will give you the basics you need to know for general C++ programming. As for DirectX there are two audio APIs for sounds and music. There is the older DirectSound API for DirectX 8/9 which is being phased out and the newer XAudio2 library which has replaced DirectSound on Windows vista and Windows 7. You don't really need any specialized tutorials for either of these libraries, but the ones that ship with the DirectX SDK aren't aimed at a beginner. They do however use several basic simple DirectX utility classes such as a simple sound manager for DirectSound that simplifies programming applications with DirectX, but it is recommend you write your own utility classes which isn't something a beginner will want to do. So personally I wouldn't recommend using DirectX if you are new to C++. there are much easier solutions like SDL or SFML that are more appropriate for a new programmer. In any case I am working on tutorials for my developers web site, but MOTA has me so tied up my programming tutorials aren't getting done. So all I can say is it is something I am actively working on but is far from being completed.
