Alright /prog/

I know this is probably just going to get a lot of troll replies, but I honestly want to know some good resources on learning Direct X programming. I already know C++ pretty well, and can find my way around a Windows program, but I have no access to classes or any irl lesson of any kind.

My only real options are books and online resources. Anyone willing to point me in the right direction?

If I'm going through the trouble of writing a software renderer from the ground-up, it would be something more interesting or exotic, a raytracer, radiosity, voxels, assmaps or something.

That's kind of the point. These half-retarded triangle pushers are the wave of the past. And now learning the well-established fundamentals of computer graphics is nebulous? Lol, sir, lol.
