Summary: very helpful and in depth
Review: This is a very helpful book for learning OpenGl. However, dont expect it to teach you C++, you had better already know that before you try to learn OpenGL. Good examples and easy to read.

Summary: Overrated, but there's barely anything better out there
Review: This is not a good book for beginners at all. The explanations are very hard to follow and are rather boring. However, experienced OpenGL users will want to use this book, interestingly enough, as a kind of reference. Just because there doesn't seem to be any book out there that's better does not mean that this book deserves 5 stars.I ended up learning by looking at people's code (the Nehe tutorials and others) and then referring back to selected sections in the red and blue book as well as asking on newsgroups and mailing lists before I could figure out things. In other words, with this book, you've still got your work cut out for you when learning OpenGL. However, once you start learning more, this book might become more invaluable.
