General Graphics/Game Programming Question

[cypher777]

I'm looking to start making my own graphical interface programs; more specifically, a user menu similar to the opening menu for PC games (Deus Ex 1/2, Painkiller, Quake III, etc.). Problem is, I don't really know where to begin (I have knowledge in basic windows programming and Open GL along with some advanced non-graphical c++). Does anybody know any good sites to learn from, or at least help me decide which language/setup to use for making these GUI's? Thanks.

You first have to decide what you you are going to use: OpenGL or DirectX.

For OpenGL: http://nehe.gamedev.net
For DirectX: http://nexe.gamedev.net/

I think the best thing to start with is to take a look at http://nwaldren.bei.t-online.de/glgooey.htm and see how their system works.
