Yeah, seriously. I was under the impression that this was a forum for help and discussion and feedback, not... your own personal playground for proving how much of a M4star programmerz you are, Bubba. Everybody has to start somewhere, and googling for "graphical game programming" is going to give you a lot of information, and if you've little experience with the subject, you're going to have a hard to finding out what IS relevant and what isn't.
Anyway, topic starter, I'll get off of my soapbox ^^. SDL is pretty simple. apparently it has a limited scope, but it's not too difficult if you can except a few things as black boxes. http://www.libsdl.org/index.php has some tutorials which you might check out.
