Hello, I want to learn DirectX 11 but either the books and resources look very old, and especially the books are not very explanatory, are there any resources where I can learn directx 11 with good examples?

How to Learn DirectX 11? Best Tutorials or Books?
The best way I found (been a couple of years) was this…
https://github.com/walbourn/directx-sdk-samples
Specifically the Direct3D11Tutorials folder and the README.md/docx for MSDN links.
Also check his other repos. He is “Senior Engineer in Xbox” so there's that.

@fleabay Direct3D11Tutorials folder seems be really basic, but other examples are really cool, I'll check out thanks!
The Frank Luna books used to be good, but with DX11, they changed a few things after he published the book, hence some of his code doesn't work out of the box. Still, if you can work around that, it's not a bad source. It's mainly the D3DX library that missing but I think it's downloadable somewhere, however I ended up just not using it.
The functional specs are the best resource out there. https://microsoft.github.io/DirectX-Specs/d3d/archive/D3D11_3_FunctionalSpec.htm , even includes a reference CPU tessellation implementation.
Not a great learning-from-scratch-tool but the best tool to help you figure out and understand how you messed everything up.
