The examples that come with DBP and GDK are usually more than enough to get anyone well into working with them. They do cover all the aspects of the API. However some problems do arise when working with C++ because it does take a long time to learn. As time passes you get much better at it.

This site does go over tutorials and samples for c++ programming which will help out immensely. It covers the basics and goes into more advanced c++ programming.
The best way to get help on these forums with the problems you are facing is to provide snippets of your code. At least then the rest of us know were you are at and we can help then which direction to point you in.
Googling helps with getting answers to. I always have google at the ready when searching for an answer to a problem I have.
ie. You could google "2d game array programming c++" and see what results you get first. It is usually much faster than waiting on a reply on a forum too.
Good luck with your programming sir...
