I have another question. What's the point of learning SDL? I know it's fast, but big companies don't use it and you don't benefit from it except if you make a game and start selling it.
There is no point... It is a waste of time really...
Would you care to back up such a statement with any points at all?
Of course...
SDL provides nothing more than for example DirectX... Its only purpose is easier porting to other platforms. Unless Vladk10000 is going to port something, which I doubt, this is beginners thread after all, what can SDL do good to him?
Of course if he has LOTS of time, he can learn everything: DirectX, openGL, SDL, MFC, .NET, Python, java, asm, Cobol[lol], etc...
Life is short, learn something what can you use now, not something that maybe you`ll use one day... [wink]
