Modern OpenGL

Something I sort of completely forgot about.

At the GulaschProgrammierNacht 10 - the entropia ev/CCC Karlsruhes annual hacker event - I held a talk about modern OpenGL. While the talk itself wasn’t held very well (I rushed through everything aaaaaaaaah oh god), the base material is, actually, a pretty okay introduction to modern OpenGL - without fixed function pipeline, as it should be.

You can download the english version of the slides here, and - probably more interestingly, can grab a copy of the demo program I made, which is very well-commented and does nothing but simply render a rotating cube, as seen below.

If you’re the type that learns best from examples, have a look.

Also, if you need more writing and explanation, have a look at Joes blog, where a longer explanation of basically the same thing is provided. :)
