First, it's not called Source SDK anymore, just Hammer which can be accessed in the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Half-Life 2 Deathmatch\bin\hammer.exe"

Before making any maps I would watch a few tutorials on youtube, start to play around with blocks and shapes, clipping them, changing surface textures on different sides and then start using entities, learn how to make a proper skybox not just a hollow box and once you covered all of that shit just learn about the I/O system (In put / Out put) What I did was I learnt from maps by decompiling them with a program called BSPSource, all you need to do is find a map in your folder with the program and decompile then just open it with hammer since it will decompile the .bsp file to a .vmf format for hammer to be able to read it.

That's basically it. If you want to do your own custom textures and sounds I would suggest watching my tutorials.
