Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible book
Review: This is one of the best graphics books I have read. If you have any interest in graphics programming, you should own this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book gets better every edition
Review: This is the best place to start learning about OpenGL and it has enough depth and scope to keep you refering to it at an advanced level. I am pleased that each edition gets better. Not only by adding the new features of the latest release of OpenGL but also revising the older chapters to improve their clarity. You really can't go that wrong with this book but be aware that there are some vector and matrix calculations here that assume you have prior knowledge of why it works. Overall a good balance of theory, code samples and math. Also, if you are using an earlier version of OpenGL (1.0 or 1.1) can still use this book, just make sure you watch out for the comments as to which features are available in which version.

Summary: This is one amazing book.
Review: This was my first pick and i would like to mention that i had no prior experience with Opengl. The book has been organized in a very understandable manner and the learning curve is not that bumpy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Concise e fast way to start programming with OpenGL
Review: Very well writen, simple and excelent. Don't forget to download Mesa from www.mesa3d.org and take a look, also, on the OGL Reference Manual and the OpenGL Programming for The X Windows System by Mark Kilgaard

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Definitely a must have
Review: What can I say? This book lives up to its reputation of being THE book for learning OpenGL. It's extremely well written, contains easy to use and understand sample programs, is quite complete in its coverage, and it is entirely platform-independent. Anyone who wants to learn OpenGL should have this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I am happy!
Review: What more can you say my friend?, this book is what IT IS: OpenGL by the people who made it!

Could not be no bettttter.

Thank you to the ARB people. Looking forward to more, more and more...

Buy this book if you are serious with OpenGL, period.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: reference
Review: Yes.... all you get is all of the functions listed in alphabetical order.... how to use them, different ways you can use them, what kinds of errors will spawn from a function, and also, what kinds of functions to coincide with the use of it. The OpenGL programmers Guide is excellent by itself... this just tells you what's inside (function wise) ... doesn't tutor you on anything, that's why you always need a programmers reference..... you necessairly don't need this book with the programmers guide, you'll get along fine with it. But this is a quick reference, and that's never bad
