Try the http://nehe.gamedev.net/.
OpenGL is a graphics library for 2D and 3D graphics. DirectX is a multimedia library what provides graphics, sound, network, input,...


Lemme get this straight... you applied for and then GOT a job programming in OpenGL without even knowing what it is? Didn''t they ask YOU any questions or for a demo of something you''ve done????? Just interested...

In The Add They Say That they Want C,C++ programers
i came to an interview and there the man told me there is
going to be a 4 monthes course about unix programing and OpenGL after the interview their was a test in c,C++.
wich i passed and that''s it.
i think i made it because i had knowledge of multithreading
and directX.
any way i don''t think there are alot or even a few
OpenGL programers in israel and that is why they give
this course
if there is any game programer from israel then i would like to know.

O.k
hope i satisfied yours curiosity.
bye

Good luck with that job mate, methinks you''ll like OpenGL a lot better than DirectX

If you need additionnal infos about OpenGL, buy the red and blue book and check OpenGL.org.

In case it''s not enough tell me, I''ll send you all my links (about 10-20).

Red book: OpenGL programming guide.
Very worth the read.
Blue book : OpenGL reference manual.
It contains all commands and explain them.

I got the two
