Getting started with OpenGL programming can seem to be a little heavy but it need not be.

We will start with a brief introduction to OpenGL and then quickly jump into the step-by-step tutorial section.

Outline

The intro will include some history including the differences between OpenGL, OpenGL ES and OpenGL ES2.

The tutorial will introduce OpenGL programming by building a simple app which has the following features

• Draws basic shapes
• Filling the object with basic colors
• Applying a texture on the shape
• Creating a simple animation with the shape

And while implementing the above, we’ll cover the following topics

• Setting up the view
• Drawing simple shapes
• Vertex Shader
• Fragment Shader

If time permits, we’ll also cover the following

• OpenGL Shader language [GLSL]
• Transformations
• Frame Buffer Objects
