This skill walks the user through the Getting Started tutorial for DirectX Tool Kit step by step.
Follow each step in order. Each step builds on the previous one.
At the end of each step, ask the user if they would like to see the Technical Notes section (which provides a brief overview of the underlying Direct3D APIs and objects used by the toolkit in that step) or skip it and move on to the next step.
