Pixel Shading & Vertex Shading

Hi All,
I'm new to DirectX. I'd like to know more about pixel shader and vertex shader.

On the software side of things you probably want to pick up a copy of ATI's RenderMonkey or Nvidia's FXComposer so you've got some tools to play around with. When I was learning I found these tools quite useful as a sandbox where I could poke around, mess with things and see the results immediately.

For books, "Programming Vertex and Pixel Shaders" by Wolfgang Engel was pretty good. For more advanced discussion then the ShaderX series is recommended - but you probably wont want to jump straight into the deep end
