Not to sounds too negative here, but...

Quake 2 shader tutorial - Useless. That's nothing to do with DirectX shaders that are used in DBPro.

Another shader tutorial - Useless. Again, same reason. That's SGI, they are the big name behind OpenGL. Nothing to do with DirectX.


Yet another shader tutorial - Uselss. Renderman shaders, not DirectX.

Which leaves us with FX composer and RenderMonkey. You might find them to be a little useful, personally I don't think they're going to be the best place to learn from, and they're not going to output something that can just be loaded into DBPro.
