and development? I would also dig it if u could give me some book titles that come with DVD's and/or software of some kind. But anything help's.

I took a game dev class at UC San Diego that used "Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus" by Andre LaMothe as its main text. Good book that does a full treatise on windows and direct x programming....it's thicker than a dictionary (1000 pages) and comes with software to get you started...it's pretty much an introduction to everything a game programmer will need other than, of course, an understanding of the language...you need to really understand C or C++ to do games, unless you're doing simple web games...
