DirectX College courses???

Question

Sign in to vote

I have just completed c++ 1 and 2 at my college and I would like to continue learning WIN32 and DirectX programming. Does anyone have any colleges / online courses that they are willing to recommend?

I see that Devry offers some video game programming online courses. Anyone know about them?

How did you learn about DirectX? Will I have to just revert to reading from books?

Thanks,

Hi,

I don't do much DirectX programming. I can tell you that there are no official Microsoft courses that cover this. There is some free content on Microsoft Virtual academy that you might find useful:
