    Thanks Eugenia, it’s cool to see some OpenGL article here. I didn’t try the program yet but it seems to be a very nice introduction to shaders with a simple exemple.

    Here is a website which intends to help getting your IDE and C or Java ready for OpenGL programming on Windows, along with some basic sample code :

    (warning, french language ! :p )

    For general game programming, though everyone probably know them, I would also recommend

    and
