Hi, I am dieing to get "into" being a developer. If any of you can direct me to(away) any thing that would help me please do so...

depends on how much you already know...
make sure you learn C/C++ by heart, get a book!
download and read the DirectX SDK everytime before you go to bed
keep searching, keep reading, keep writing code, keep reading the posts on here..also they have lots of good articles here to get you started, check them out.

Lookin'' at the Sourcecodes of small (Sample-)games like ''Space Donuts'' help alot.

There''s no easy way to answer your question. You just have to throw yourself into it and go. You never stop learning in this field, but you are going to have to play catch up.

First, learn C/C++ well. Also, you need to learn about how to program. Contrary to popular thought, these are two entirely different things. You should develop well programming practices, and you should learn about things such as data structures.

From there, start moving into Windows programming. You don''t have to be a master to program games, but the more you know, the better you''ll do. Once you''re ready, start DirectX and try to do some simple games.

Finally, read, read some more, then reread what you read. I''ve probably read upwards to 50 books on programming or game related sunjects. You just have to absorb yourself into the learning process.

And don''t expect to learn all of this at once. It takes years to become a professional quality programmer.

I''m also a newbie (as-in, still fetal =). But I''m very interested in game development. I''d like to say that seeing the multitude of responses to the above post is very heartening, as I''m sure you''ll all remember, getting started can be _very_ difficult.
