4.0 out of 5 stars Theory Centric
I have been programming for several years and never really got interested in graphics programming until recently. I found the material very well organized and easily comprehended. The book is theory centric, but does provide a nice introduction to the philosophy of the OpenGL library. You should take away the principles involved in graphics programming more so than a book...

3.0 out of 5 stars This is a nice book for a university library.
This book has really fancy printing, and a lot of academic blah blah, but it isn't a practical manual to learn how to use OpenGL and the math and knowledge for learning computer graphics. This book is more theory than practical, you need some teacher to fill in the blanks this book confronts you with.

The book is theory centric, but does provide a nice introduction to the philosophy of the OpenGL library. You should take away the principles involved in graphics programming more so than a book of example code.
