Programming Tutorials?

I've finished the 3 PSP programming tutorials provided by Yeldarb (nicely done tutorials btw) and find myself wanting to know more. I haven't done any coding since my second year of high school and I'll be damned if I remember something from 8 years ago :o

Anyway, I'm looking to learn more about:

Draw a graphic as a background
Overlay additional images on top of the background layer
Control a cursor with the analog stick
Make clickable hotspots that trigger events
Loading / unloading graphics into memory for smooth gameplay

If anyone could point me at a good place to start, I'd greatly appreciate it.

PSP programming have a nice set of tutorials (not sure about cursors though...).
