DirectX-Graphics-Samples
This repo contains the DirectX Graphics samples that demonstrate how to build graphics intensive applications on Windows.
I found OpenGL much easier to learn, as there is more beginner content. One of those is https://learnopengl.com which I highly recommend it should go over all the basics that you've mentioned. Most DirectX11 books are from the Windows 7 era and are out of date. Once you learn OpenGL it should be easy to map to another api like DirectX.
