Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] Tutorial(s) for newcomers to (py)OpenGL

[Austin H. <pyo...@sl...>]

I recently taught myself pyOpenGL. I didn't find any tutorials that were made 
for pyOpenGL, but fortunately, almost everything you need to know is just 
like the C/C++ code. Some exceptions here: 
http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/documentation/opengl_diffs.html

I learned by purchasing the OpenGL Programming Guide (red book). It is a very 
well written guide. It is also very nice to have the OpenGL Reference Manual 
(blue book) on hand to look up specific functions. I bought the pair together 
for $100. An older version of the red book is available online here: 
http://www.opengl.org/documentation/red_book_1.0/ It covers OpenGL 1.1, which 
is the version used in pyOpenGL.

I know that this is just how I learn, but there is a lot to OpenGL, and I 
prefer to read it in a book, written by a professional, where each item is 
clearly described before moving on to the next.
