How can I start learning SDL?

Question

I have read that SDL is used for graphics. I am just a beginner. Please tell me, how can I start learning it? What all should I know before starting SDL?

Answer 1

Conclusion:
I should have a decent knowledge about C++ before attempting to learn any of the graphic libraries (eg SDL). I should have good grip on C++ basics, specially Pointers and Templates.

@baptiste-e-prunier suggested me to learn SDL 2.
@jay suggested me the website lazyfoo.net to learn SDL 2.

Thank you all! 😊
