Tech Soup announces its first OpenGL 3 training course, July 20-23, 2009, in Washington DC. The course covers new features in OpenGL 3, porting strategies, the OpenGL Shading Language, and 3D graphics concepts. Students learn the mechanisms behind fast, efficient, current 3D graphics with OpenGL 3 in a hands-on environment featuring several coding labs. Visit the Tech Soup web site to register online.

 

Topics include:

• OpenGL 3 and the OpenGL Shading Language
• 3D graphics concepts and programming techniques
• Maximizing performance for current graphics hardware
• Strategies for porting from OpenGL 1 and 2 to OpenGL 3

This four-day course teaches the fundamentals of OpenGL 3. Developers attending the course learn the mechanisms behind fast, efficient, modern 3D graphics on current graphics hardware. Through instruction and labs, students take a triangle from concept to screen, learn how to access buffered data, move data to and from graphics hardware, add textures and lights, and use the OpenGL Shading Language for additional rendering effects. Students learn how to ensure backward and forward compatibility in a cross-platform environment. Instruction is hands-on with numerous labs, where students turn concepts into practical knowledge.

Students are required to bring their own computers. Supported platforms include Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. All attendees receive electronic copies of labs and example software.
