DirectX: Hello World Sample
"Hello World" Sample, this is the way to start using DirectX. Of course I think you should use C# and XNA, but that isn’t the case for most big game studios, so you need to start with this sample. If you are a student and broke, you can get started by first downloading the VC++ Express:

Or download all of the Express products: https://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/express-iso
(If you are a college student you can get Visual Studio pro at https://www.dreamspark.com.)
Make sure that you know about Agile development by reading:

It is pretty easy to use the VC++ Express, make some impressive stuff to show you parents (if you are in High School) and get them off your back about playing video games.
