How do I start?

Because I have heard that making a tetris game is the best place to start that is what I am going to do. But just one question... would it be better to learn something like this using straight C++ or should I try to use DirectX too? Any advice would be helpful... thanx...

Lucky. ;p
1984: Home: screen characters printed, peeked, and poked with basic on the parents Commodore 64.
1992: High School: *body shiver* two words: MAC LAB (Don''t even get me started)
1994: College: some colored dots moving on a black screen on a 386
2001: MSVC++6pro, Win98, and DX8. How SWEET it is...
