directx and com interfaces

[Edsel Condez <condeze1@yahoo.com>]

hi all

i'm new to this "forum" and am really interested in
being able to make my own 3d games.

i actually got accepted into digipen for the fall
semester but it is really expensive (like $300 per
credit hour) so i will have to wait till it offers
financial aid cuz it's not really an accredited
institute or something.

in the meantime i've been trying to learn directx with
c++.  can anyone offer any help in this area?  do i
need to learn COM interfaces?  anyone know any good
books on COM or directx or anything else that would
help me?  john de goes book for anyone who's read it
lacks a lot of explanations.  anyone know anything
really really low level?
