OpenGL book recommendation

[jannek]

Hi everyone!

I've decided to focus to computer graphics and I'd want some recommendations for a OpenGL book. I know basics in computer graphics and own the Computer Graphics: principles and practice by Foley etc. Why am I trying to focus my skills? Well, because I've noticed now one is willling to pay obsene sums of money to jack of all trades programmers

Anyways, I've searched OpenGL books in Amazon.co.uk and I.ve found some candidates including:

- OpenGL Game Programming by Dave Astle and Kevin Hawkins

- Computer Graphics with OpenGL by Donald Hearn and M. Baker

What would be your recommendations?

Hi everyone!

- OpenGL Game Programming by Dave Astle and Kevin Hawkins

I've just recently bought the one above. I've only read about 50 pages so far. On that I can say it's not bad to read. Your best bet is to look at the user feedback on Amazon.

Good to hear! I just ordered that book, readers seemed they had liked it.
