Moin,
I want to learn more about the directx and general windows APIs. Now I looked at some books, but was very unsure as to buy what and where, if ever.
First, it seems that good books about these topics come from Microsoft Press. Naturally I don't want to support them ;) Second, it seems that you need for the examples and SDK Visual C++ - again from MS. Eeek! And of course, you have to run and use it under Windows *sigh* I am also worried about the different EULAs, licence and all that other stuff "tainting" me - even though I do believe that all of this stuff isn't legal binding for me anyway. But you never know.
So, my question: Where can I obtain *free* information about the API's, their working etc. What do you use? Books you can advise?
Thank you in advance,
Tels
