Would it be worth it to learn both Open GL and DirectX librarys? Also, What other libraries should I be learning? And do you need to learn the STL? - Cheers, Daniel

    If you're going to do any programming for games, you're better of learning DirectX.

    Open GL is better for platform independence and DirectX is the best for all Windows based development. OpenGL is only comparable to DirectDraw and Direct3D, not to DirectSound, DirectPlay or DirectInput. Depending on your aim you can learn SDL ( www.libsdl.org/index.php ) , WPF and GDI+ Loren Soth
