I have teach yourself directx in 24 hours, and I want to start with it now, but is there anyone who used this book? Because I want to know if I need some understanding of win32 programming, or if thats already in the book

Teach yourself Directx in 24 hours?Muhahhhhahaha!!!
I suggest you burn your book and get something more...Voluminous?
Seriously though, I think youre going to need something else if you are serious about learning Directx.If youre having problems getting books and thats all you can find, then i understand, i was kinda in that situation too myself.Theres lots of tutorials on the net.
Try http://nehe.gamedev.net for starters.
In genral, just try out the links on this channel.Theyre pretty helpful

last i checked that was a dx7 book. all that stuff is redundent now

you can''t learn directx in 24 hours, but maybe 25 LOL

Nehe is OpenGL not DirectX...

DirectX is nexe.gamedev.net
