  • Books

    • A Trip Down the Graphics Pipeline - Popular book that contains wealth information about the graphics pipeline, and of the best sources to learn the core concepts of Computer Graphics.
    • Computer Graphics - Computer Graphics is indeed a must for anyone being involved in the design and implementation of Computer Graphics algorithms. However, this is not a OpenGL focused book, but contains valuable demonstrations of the technology.
    • Interactive Computer Graphics - It provides several examples using OpenGL and it covers several aspects at once, but if you are trying to learn OpenGL on your own you might not find this helpful.
    • OpenGL ES 3.0 Programming Guide - It presents all the necessary information to use the OpenGL ES 3.0 API in a clear manner.
    • OpenGL Insights - Rich and comprehensive resource to learn techniques and tips, covering several advanced topics of OpenGL.
    • OpenGL Programming Guide - It does a good job covering the basics and providing clear reference of the API.
    • OpenGL Shading Language - Very clear and well written book about Shading Language. Also, it provides several explanations of writing shaders.
    • OpenGL SuperBible - It covers the basic concepts of computer graphics and provides clear examples using OpenGL. Definitely, it is a must for beginners.
    • Real-Time Rendering - Moller, Eric Haines and Naty Hoffman** - It does a good job at explaining concepts for game engine, basis for game client programming as well as the necessary knowledge for understanding DirectX and OpenGL.

  • Debug

    • apitrace - Tools for tracing OpenGL, Direct3D, and other graphics APIs.
    • GL-SL Debugger - Tool for debugging OpenGL programs.
    • apitrace - Tools for tracing OpenGL, Direct3D, and other graphics APIs.
    • CodeXL - AMD's tool suite that includes debugger, profiler and frame/shader analysis.
    • GL-SL Debugger - Tool for debugging OpenGL programs.
    • GLIntercept - OpenGL function call interceptor for Windows.
    • Intel-GPA - Intel's OpenGL Graphics Performance Analyzer.
    • RenderDoc - RenderDoc is a stand-alone graphics debugging tool.
    • tracy - A real time remote telemetry frame profiler for games and other applications.
