Focus on SDL

I've recently purchased the book 'Focus on Sdl', as I believe it's what I seen the developers of the video series 'Adventures in Game development', I am curious as to which if it is a decent choice for an intermediate developer. As I have not used the Sdl Library beforehand, and have mainly focused on OpenGl, although now I am going to work with both on my next project.

So, is 'Focus on Sdl' a good choice as a reference book?

If you already know C++, then yes, it is. It covers SDL libraries and even some other related libraries very extensively. Also, i personally found that its small size made it a great choice--it's directly to the point all the way through and well organized, which makes it great for reference.

Hope you enjoy it.

If you've used OpenGL before, picking up SDL should be easy as hell. I learned SDL from only basic C++ knowledge with that same book you saw in the vids.
