[SpaceInJourney]

Im about to finally finish learning C++ basics and soon start to move to SFML, but I don't know a good SFML 2.0
Tutorials. Does anybody know one?

Hi,

I would suggest that you go through the official tutorials first (they are really good!):
http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.4/

There are some video tutorials on YouTube, but I did not watch them. Maybe they are okay:


Then of course there are some more or less good books on packt:
https://www.packtpub.com/all?search=sfml

Some of the authors are or were active in this forum too or are part of the SFML Dev Team.

And also packt offers a Video course, but it's not worth the $70+ imho. Why? Computer generated voice and a little out of concept. I had the chance to get it for < $25 ...

Most video tutorials on SFML contain a lot of vague or even wrong explanations. Especially the ones from CodingMadeEasy have bugs that are show over pretty much the whole series.
I can recommend the SFML Game Development book.

If you similarly have learned C++ just by watching some videos, I'd claim that you're missing a lot of information. Programming isn't just being able to write some code, but it's more about the understanding of the written code and design of it.
I'd recommend to read a good book on C++ instead: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list

Thanks, sadly I can't buy ebooks, but hopefully there are some C++ books in poland ex. "Symfonia C++ Standard" (It's in Polish language)
But I doubt if there are any SFML books.
Anyways, thanks!

Just a quick note:

If you really want to delve into software development or even game development, then the best resources are found in English. I myself am from Germany and a software developer (game stuff is just a hobby) and when I compare the resources on the internet, most good informations are found in English (stackoverflow.com for example is THE site on the internet, where you can find quick help. They have a lot of sub pages for specific topics, like Game Development).

The books from Packt are available in print and PDF format. Sometimes both is cheaper then just digital 

But make sure to work through the SFML tutorial on this site Anyway, good luck!
