Graphics for Beginners (Using SDL)

SDL Rocks!!

I used it for a game I wrote. It makes Threading, CDRoms, Joysticks, Keyboards, and graphics sooooo easy.

If you're using SDL for games, you should also look into:
NET2 - Fast Networking for SDLNet for multiplayer game programming. It basically has a separate thread that polls for Network traffic on your sockets and pushes events to your event queue. He even extends SDL events to be thread safe and FASTER.
SDL rocks.
