What it does
LearnOpenGL provides tutorials covering setup, shaders, transformations, lighting, model loading and advanced rendering techniques.
Work through window and triangle setup before moving to lighting or models. The review sections help consolidate the earlier concepts. The sequence is useful when you want to understand the graphics pipeline instead of only adding an isolated rendering effect. You should know enough C++ to write more than a first trivial program. The guide introduces needed mathematics and recommends reading in order; snippets are supplemented by complete source links where required.
