Hey everyone, I've been pretty busy with studying for midterms, so I
haven't been able to contribute, but it seems to me that nothing is
going on here. Anyway, since I noticed the "Development Tutorials"
links on the wiki were still english tutorials, I decided to look for
SDL tutorials in Japanese, and came across a couple of tutorials.
Since I wasn't sure who we were aiming at, I simply looked for
tutorials written towards complete novices (no programming experience)
to experienced non GUI programmers interested in GUI programming. So
here's the tutorials I found:

http://tokyo.cool.ne.jp/sdl/ : This is more of a "learn by example"
type tutorial. The author only gives basic explanations, but the codes
are commented, so someone who has programmed before should be able to
follow. He/She even saids in the "HelloSDL" section, "If you don't
understand the code, just play around with it."

http://www.tacoworks.jp/software/SDLdoc-jp/html/ : Not really a
tutorial but added anyway. It's the japanese version of the SDL API
(list of the SDL functions and what it does). Theres a very brief
tutorial in the beginning, but like all APIs, not very helpful.

http://sugoro.seesaa.net/ : Since its a blog, its difficult to
navigate, but has a couple of useful articles for GP2X programming,
which can be implemented to the Pandora (like this one:
http://sugoro.seesaa.net/article/83316807.html).

http://web.archive.org/web/20041014190639/www.mediawars.ne.jp/~freemage/progs/sdl/index.html
: An extensive SDL tutorial. Doesn't really feel like a beginner's
tutorial, and it takes a little longer to load (loading from a web
archive since the site is closed).

http://www.geocities.co.jp/Berkeley/2093/clab.html : A basic game
programming tutorial for Unix users. Gives a basic intro to C
programming as well, so completely new programmers can view it as
well.

These are all that I could basically find. Most of the others one were
based on the tutorials that I mentioned above, so I decided not to
include them. I haven't thoroughly checked each one (only skimmed
them), so maybe you guys can take a look, and see if its worthy of
being posted.

Hopefully, someone can post it on the JP Pandora wiki, and link people
on 2ch interested in SDL programming there.
