OPENGL PROGRAMMING GUIDE SEVENTH EDITION

For years, graphics programmers have relied on a single authoritative book to master OpenGL programming: The OpenGL Programming Guide, also known as "the Red Book." With the release of Version 3.0, developers must master a radically new and more powerful version of OpenGL: one that breaks binary and source code compatibility and requires fundamentally different coding techniques. For graphics programmers, it's almost like starting over: the new interface largely invalidates some fifteen years of accumulated knowledge and techniques.
