If not, Dev-CPP + G++ (yes, that is a G) - is a good option.2) That C++ tutorial is fine, I guess.3) I know nothing about SDL, but there is a lot of people with similar questions as yours about it on these forums, so do some searches for "SDL starting" and you may find some helpful (old) posts with advice that's still relevant.   ;  I like this SDL tutorial.  To learn C++, you are best off buying a book or getting one from the library, any book will do as long as it is written in a style that you can understand.
