I would say DirectX, I've used it for years and never had a problem.

Hmm seems to me the best place would be mdxinfo.com they should have the tutorials to teach you.

Ok well what language are you going to be using to program graphics? If it is c/c++ then I would have to recommend OpenGL because honestly they are driving DirectX into the ground. Now really this is a kind of unfair comparison considering DirectX is a full graphics, sound, input, etc API and OpenGL is only graphics. Now if you are looking for graphics, I will still have to say OpenGL because it is also cross platform.
