I've been doing DOS C++ for about a year now, but now I want to learn DirectX 9 programming. I have experience in DarkBASIC as well as DOS C++. Can anybody suggest any good books for me?

Look on Amazon - some of the best books might be there.
Do not make direct eye contact with me.
I looked, but the reviews were either bad for most, or said "not for beginners" for the only good one. Are there any online tutorials?

You may teach a person from now until doom's day, but that person will only know what he learns himself.
Now I know what doesn't work.
A problem is understood by solving it, not by pondering it.

Thanks, guys! I'm going to try to start on the online tutorial, but if that doesn't work, I'll grab a book.
