SFML 2.0 and 1.6 tutorials compatibility?

[Bones]

Hello there!  I just downloaded SFML 1.6 but I can't seem to get it working.  Apparently it's a common problem and I need to download a newer version of mingw to fix it.

Anyways, I'm considering just downloading 2.0 since I read that the build system is reworked and it will probably fix my problem anyways.  Plus 1.6 isn't supported so I mind as well switch over before I even start.  Kill two birds with one stone eh?  I'm just wondering if all the SFML 1.6 tutorials are compatible with SFML 2.0.  If you could tell me what is different then that would be great(or point me to some resources, etc.).  I haven't searched extensively so forgive me if my answer is in plain sight.

EDIT:  I suppose the documentation would be a good place to start.

Some parts of the API have changed in SFML 2.0, so the 1.6 tutorials are not 100% compatible. But I think they are good enough to explain the basic mechanisms, the details can still be looked up in the documentation.
