The high-level walkthrough I presented at Microsoft Academic Days is now available on our wiki.
The final version of the Tank game code is available on the CD passed out at the conference, and will be available in the next release of DXFramework.
A note about the student demos included on the CD: if you get a DLL error when running these applications, try installing the DirectX update available here.
Do not forget to check out our getting started guide and FAQ page on the Wiki.
More updates coming soon, feel free to contact me in the mean time with any questions you may have.

We love what you’re doing, but technically speaking, distributing DirectX DLLs is a violation of the EULA (not to mention a potentially tragic security issue). To address this problem, we’re offering a web-driven installer here (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en). This installer examines your system and determines what DLLs are missing and installs them. The advantage is that the entire installation process takes seconds, and helps you be assured that your DirectX libraries are up to date!
