From Glut to Win 32
Greetings all,
I have been using glut in my opengl programming lately. Although, I have been learning win 32. Here is a question to those who made the transition from glut to win 32. How much of win 32 did you learn for opengl? The whole language or just enough to make a window? How much should one learn of win 32?Thanks in advance.

Yo really don''t need to know a whole lot. Spend a little time on NeHe''s site, the first few tutorials go over getting set up in windows.
Also consider getting "OpenGL Game Programming" by the GameDev gurus themselves, it has a good overview of what Win32 you need to get OpenGL up and running.
"If consquences dictate our course of action, it doesn''t matter what''s right, it''s only wrong if you get caught."

It''s only syntax and semantics you have to learn. The notion of a message processing loop and callbacks you''ve already learnt through GLUT.
Win32 is esentially the same, but with some ''interesting'' (read: questionable) variable names and weirdo CApiTAlisatION

wouldn''t you rather use SDL? www.libsdl.org :D
Or even better: AllegroGL
But really, why in the world are you developing under win32????
