Weep for Graphics Programming
Upvoted simply because -- notwithstanding all of the entirely valid complaints -- this is actually the short, sweet introduction to GL that I would&#x27;ve loved when I first picked it up.<p>All of these things took me some serious time to learn.  Partly because of my sheer incredulity at the stringliness of it all.  Finding good GL tutorials is hard, after all: &quot;surely&quot;, I thought, &quot;these are just bad examples, and I should keep looking for a better way&quot;.<p>A quick, frank throwdown of &quot;this is the way it is&quot; like this would&#x27;ve gotten me over that hump much faster.  Even if it&#x27;s crushing, I&#x27;m filing this link away for &quot;must read&quot; when someone asks me where to get started in GL programming.
