Learn OpenGL: Learn modern OpenGL graphics programming in a step-by-step fashion.

I am a professional software developer who was looking to update their knowledge of OpenGL, I tried many books before this one and this is literally the only material that as it takes you through the standard it clearly and concisely explains everything, ensuring that you understand. If you are a proficient C++ programmer this book makes OpenGL child's play. My only gripe with the book is that there is no index, but that is no big deal. Huge congrats to the author on excellent material!

I'm a CSC student who is interested in learning about how graphics engines work. Joey does a fantastic job with explaining the process, reasoning behind certain steps, and much more. Plus, there is an accompanied website with the book where you can access source code for each chapter for free! Highly recommend this book to anyone serious about getting into graphics engine development.

I am coming to OpenGL from a user's perspective: I want to know how to get up and running with it, and start creating graphical applications. This book (and the author's website) are amazing for just that.

The best intro to modern OpenGL I have come across. Beautifully melds theory with your practice to create an intuitive learning experience. Highly recommended introduction to fundamental and advanced modern OpenGL concepts

Program lines were easy to understand

I worked through the online version. Awesome stuff, formatting, content. It's great.

This is an excellent material on OpenGL programming but it is is missing some important components. Most of the OpenGL authors do not cover basic forms, e.g. points, lines, arrowed lines, etc. They most start creating triangles and rectangles. Up to now I am still battling trying to create an arrowed simple line. May the author of this great book add drawing of simple objects in the next edition.

What an incredible book! You can preview what is inside by going to his website of the same name as the book. Highly recommend, well worth the money.

Rien à dire sur le contenu. La dernière section sur la programmation d'un casse-brique parait parfois un peu hors sujet cependant. La qualité d'impression mériterait une révision pour une éventuelle future version car le texte est trop petit, le code source pas très lisible car sur fond noir. Les images sont aussi pas toujours très lisibles.

Un libro che consiglierei ad occhi chiusi, se non fosse per il fatto che ormai sente VERAMENTE il peso dell'età. Offre comunque una buona infarinatura su concetti di base ed il tempo impiegato a leggerlo non sarà sprecato. Tuttavia, diciamo che sul mercato ci sono proposte (di gran lunga) migliori nel 2025. Se preso in offertissima (veramente issima) allora sì, tipico libro da "non può mancare nella mia biblioteca" per chi si cimenta o lavora con questo genere di argomenti.

Ich kenne keine besseres Buch, um OpenGL zu lernen!

This book was central in my experience learning about computer graphics.

Awesome book that finally made 3D programming make sense to me. This book definitely requires a lot of work and dedication to get through but if you put in the effort you will be rewarded.
