Trying to understand how SFML works:

[samtheman]

I am just beginning to learn at about C++:
1) Will SFML library work with Dev C++ 5.11?
2) I am using Visual Studio 2017 community.
3) I have tried the online CHAT but not able to get it started.
4) I am new with SFML could you please give me some advice and the best way to get started with Graphics?

It will probably work with the new Dev-C++ but Visual Studio is a much better option.

Online chat should work fine. Can't help much more as "didn't work" is not a problem description.
There's now also Discord.

SFML requires you to have a good understanding of C++, if you're just starting out, I recommend you spend more time on pure C++, as there's a lot to learn and without will make everything a lot harder to understand.

Check the SFML tutorials on how to use SFML.
