 News: Technet DirectX RSS Feed Added
DirectX 8 & 9I've just added a new block to the left hand column - the Technet DirectX KB articles RSS feed. Microsoft have just started supplying RSS feeds to keep us up to date on new articles added to Technet about DirectX. As it's a new service there's nothing showing right now but new articles will appear as KB entries are added.

 32Bits Tutorials: DirectX 9 Tutorials Added
DirectX 8 & 9I've just put the remaining 3 tutorials in the DirectX Basics Series 3 - DirectX 9 edition series (mouthful!) online. These tutorials introduce the 3D T&L pipeline, texturemapping, blending, lighting and materials. This completes the DX9 updates to the series, and the project tracker on the right side of the front page has been updated. The next tutorials will probably cover cubic environment mapping, bumpmapping and possibly some DirectInput! Come join us in the forums to chat about the tutorials and suggest some topics. Meanwhile DX9 coders, get stuck in here!

Microsoft are starting to force people to upgrade Visual Studio just to use DirectX. Good idea?

Yes! Those laggards with Visual C++ 6 deserve it!
No! I prefer VC6, why force me to upgrade?
Hah! I don't use Visual C++ anyway!
Eh? Who cares, I just want to code.
