OpenGL SuperBible: Comprehensive Tutorial and Reference

Description

The Barnes & Noble Review For years, thousands of OpenGL programmers have relied on theOpenGL SuperBible. If you want to leverage OpenGL 2.1'smajorimprovements, youreallyneed the Fourth Edition. It's a comprehensive tutorial, systematic API reference, and massive code library, all in one. You'll start with the fundamental techniques every graphics programmer needs: transformations, lighting, texture mapping, and so forth. Then, building on those basics, you'll move towards newer capabilities, from advanced buffers to vertex shaders. Of course, OpenGL's cross-platform availability remains one of its most compelling features. This book's extensive multiplatform coverage has been thoroughly rewritten, and now addresses everything from Windows Vista to OpenGL ES for handhelds. This is stuff youabsolutelywant the latest edition for. A small but telling point: This book's recently been invited into Addison-Wesley's OpenGL Series, making it an "official" OpenGL book -- and making a powerful statement about its credibility.Bill Camarda, from the August 2007href="Read">http://www.barnesandnoble.com/newslet...Only
