If you're new to programming, you should first read a good book (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list) about C++. After you've read it from front to back, you can easily find dozens of articles, tutorials and source code on side-scrollers. The magic tool is called Google (https://www.google.ch/search?q=programming+sidescroller) and no there is none step-by-step tutorial with SFML. ::)

If you're not worried about your C++, then you won't be worried about adapting code for other libraries to SFML, thus you can pick any, that Google throws at you - maybe there's even one for SFML out there! :o

And then there are a bunch of open source side-scroller (can also be found with Go.Ogle), for example Cosmoscroll (https://code.google.com/p/cosmoscroll/).
