I started to learn OpenGL from an old set of tutorials.
While I was browsing the reference pages at OpenGL's website, I noticed some of the functions only exists at the OpenGL 2.1 reference, and aren't listed at the new 4.1 reference.
For example glBegin() and glEnd() .
So I'm wondering if those, and other functions were replaced at the newer versions of OpenGL, and if so, should I find tutorials for the recent OpenGL version(4.1)?
Question about OpenGL
Yes, a good portion of the old functions were deprecated (and no longer in the latest API).
glBegin/End were some of those functions. If you look at the 4.0 Reference Card anything that you see in blue is deprecated.
Most of these were deprecated in version 3.2, so any tutorial you find for OpenGL 3 should put you on the right track. 3 and 4 are pretty similar.
