Programming books

Does anyone know any good "opengl" or "directx" books from prior experience that are easy/medium to understand and will get me onto graphics.

Or any tutorials

thanks alot

I made pong without any books, it isnt saying much, but its easier to get started than you think.....


go to nehe.gamedev.net

He is an uber openGL programmer, he has almost 50 lessons, which are the easiest to understand bits I've seen so far...
