Hi all,
I have just finished a c book. I want to learn SDL to do graphical programming with c.
I’m a lost in all those documents avalaible on the site. Plus some are C++.
Do you have some advice, or any suggestion for me?
Thanks a lot.

The Wiki is the most up-to-date and complete document. It has both the
API guide and some examples.

You need experience, not just documents. Try writing a very simple
game/application at first, using only a few features, and then work your
way up to more complex applications. For instance, I started by writing
Dumbbell:

The SDL site has a number of demos on it that might be helpful:
http://www.libsdl.org/demos.php
(You may have to look at each one to determine if it’s written in C++ or
just C.) Perhaps you can find a demo and add things to it, testing
different SDL features, or write your own test program from scratch. A
friend of mine learned this way.
Expect to be very confused at first, but things will get easier once you
become familiar with the library.
Hi Victor,
You could take a look at this book
http://www.nostarch.com/frameset.php?startat=plg
There used to be a PDF version of the book, but
I don’t have the link for it. So I don’t know
if this is still legally available.
And to this web site
http://gpwiki.org/index.php/C:SDL_tutorials
Cheers and happy coding,
Paulo
