The latest DirectX SDK can always be found at http://msdn.com/directx/sdk

Hello,
It is worth baring in mind that the latest SDK's will also require the latest platform SDK (another relatively easy download) as well as at least a 7.x Visual C++ compiler (that is, 2002 and higher). Support for Visual C++ 6 was dropped some time ago.
Hopefully it won't be a problem for you, but if you're new to this area then I thought it'd be something worth pointing out Smile

You probably need to do an extensive search on DirectX 9/C++ tutorial but I don't want to take a lot of time doing it--can be hard for me to find for me.

However, I'd recommend you learn Managed DirectX with C#. Since you know C++ you can probably get over with the C#'s syntax very quickly. You can find it here.

Please note: I'm not trying to get you away from C++ but I'm thinking that if you learn Managed DirectX, then you can learn DirectX/C++ from the DirectX/C++ tutorial provided by Microsoft DirectX/C++ SDK.
