OpenGL 2.1 course

This is an old course mostly about the deprecated openGL 2.1. It can be useful to understand old projects (many are still using GL 2.1) and is easier to learn at first. But since you will have to learn openGL 3.0 at some point you might want to jump to it directly. Note that this course was designed for Master students.

"What's this? Trix? Aunt! Trix? You? You're after the prize! What
is it?" He picked up the box and studied the back. "A glow-in-the-dark
squid! Have you got it out of there yet?" He tilted the box, angling the
little colored balls of cereal so as to see the bottom, and nearly spilling
them onto the table top. "Here it is!" He hauled out a little cream-colored,
glitter-sprinkled squid, three-inches long and made out of rubbery plastic.
