Learning DirectX

I just decided to take a small break from torque and start learning C++ and DirectX. I learned quite a bit of C++, But I have a couple questions about DirectX.
1. all the examples I have found use C#, according to what I have heard C# is not a good proggraming language to use in games. Is this true and if so why is everything in C#?
2. Does anybody know any good books for utter noobs, some searching I did found Introduction to 3D Game Programming with DirectX 9.0 but reviews said it was a bit difficult to start out with. I am starting 2D so books that cover 2D material would be nice but not neccesary.
thanks
