DirectX Tutorials?? Where!?

I was wondering where I could find some DirectX Tutorials.. For DirectInput, DirectPlay, Direct3d, and pretty much anythign about DirectX! Myabe there could be a sticky with tutorial links on it So most begginers coudl get a starting hand at a few things, instead of having to ask lots of basic questions one after the another, like me! :)
So, if anyone could at least show me some links for it
Personally I need for VB.NET, but other links are also welcome! :)
Thanks forum members!! =D

    many tutorials and samples are installed with DirectX SDK. A good source online is for instance http://www.thezbuffer.com/categories/tutorials.aspx

    Here is a link on Inner Realm for Managed DirectX Resources, included is a small list of VB.Net related websites. http://www.ircomm.net/forums/7/ShowPost.aspx

    Also Drunken Hyena has converted his DirectX tutorials to C# and as of last week to VB.Net, you might also want to check them out. http://www.ircomm.net/blogs/system_announcements_and_news/archive/2005/11/16/627.aspx

    You will find though that most of the Tutorials and articles are going to be base on C#, so you might want to also have a look at learning to read C# Code so that you can convert them yourself. Or have a look at some of the converters that are around to do it for you. Overall it would be a good exercise to learn both languages. Here is a link to the various code converters that I have found, http://www.ircomm.net/forums/562/ShowPost.aspx

    You need to install the DirectX SDK.  Once that is done, you can launch the DirectX Sample Browser, where you will find many tutorials.

    Please note that DirectPlay is deprecated, and we no longer recommend using it.

    If you are looking for VB samples, you will need to look at other sites on the Internet.  In particular, www.TheZbuffer.com has several samples that have been converted into VB.
