it's not good for beginners

I think that this is the development of plugins in C++ is the business of professionals, but not beginners, therefore there are still no normal courses or tutorials. The developers of such courses are no longer needed, only the documentation for the API.

It is easy if you read it from beginning and it would be hard if you suddenly jump at the middle of HDK.
This is not Houdini documentation responsibility to teach you how CMake works or how C++ compilers work.
There are many samples in HDK with comments which show you how to use development kit.
You should learn C++ deeply enough to work with HDK otherwise it would be really annoying to work with.
You can also use Inlinecpp module in Python:

what is the “:” after the letter? why with “eeeee:” just breaking everything?

why in this example “1” not “1:”?

and so on ….

this is not “really good” documentation, just simple description…

You can also use the C++ Wrangle if you want zero setup time (almost zero on Windows):

As documentation says:
If the letter is followed by a colon, the option is expected to have an argument (use two or three colons to indicate two or three arguments respectively).

As I said, you should read HDK documentation step by step otherwise you will lost!
