Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5 not so happy about it at all, 2008-11-07
I'm VERY sorry to be negative but...
I have purchased this book 2 weeks ago and I stopped on page 50. I'm a programmer new in OpenGL. This book is using too technical specifications, the examples does not work at the first time....and it was supposed to be for beginners?

have just now ordered the OpenGL redbook - looks easier to understand (we will see)

OpenGL Distilled is an excellent reference for developers who are new to OpenGL. It tackles platform specifics for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and makes use of GLUT and GLU in the core text so that focus can stay heavily on OpenGL itself.

I learnt OpenGL with this book, and then progressed on to the main Programming Guide and Shader Language reference texts (the "red" and "orange" books). I still refer to this book quite often though, as it is so well written, it's often hard to beat for looking up an explanation of something.

This book covers features right up to OpenGL 2.0. It has the best explanation of how extensions work, and how easy they can be to manage, that I have seen anywhere.
