Hi Pramod,

I remember when I began to use CGAL, I spent a lot of time reading its
manual. You can visit it here:

http://www.cgal.org/Manual/latest/doc_html/cgal_manual/contents.html

As you read the chapters, you will find some code examples that you
can test and run to get you familiarised with the concepts used in
CGAL. I admit that I didn't read all the chapters there, but I read
the basic chapters (those in part II) and chapters related to my
research.

Not sure if this helps, but assuming you already know how to use
static libraries, I think it should be enough to begin with this step.

Best regards,
Nicholas
