Delphi Developer's Guide to OpenGL

Description: In writing about such a complex subject as OpenGL, an author has two choices: start at the beginning and develop the basics, or assume the basics and show how to do the more complex but common usage. Delphi, a combination of Object Pascal and an IDE, is a wonderful development arena. Most developers are single users and not teams. Thus its is important to have a book that deals with the basics of OpenGL, one that assumes very little about graphics. This is such a book. Moreover, Jon Jacobs choose to document every line of code in his examples. With this there is a danger of losing concept in the details. He, however, does not because he has a knack of knowing and explaining the important parts of the code. This style is also means that the book builds upon the previous chapters; it becomes difficult to jump into the middle and try to understand what is going on. Thus this is a book to read from cover to cover, perhaps skimming parts, but not one to use as reference until one has read i ..
