New tutorials on Modern OpenGL - request for comments

Hi! A few OpenGL lovers and I are writing a completely new set of OpenGL tutorials http://en.wikibooks....g#Modern_OpenGL We start straight with shaders, and replace all legacy 1.x functions with 2.x replacements (we also have a section on upgrade tips). We stick to OpenGL 2.x core profile / OpenGL ES 2, which is now widely available in mobile and desktop platforms. The tutorials are influenced by NeHe's DIY style (and flying cube!), but start anew and follow a different structure. We also have a section on non-gaming topics such as Scientific visualization. The tutorials are under the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA, and the code samples are placed in the public domain, and available from the gitorious repo: https://gitorious.org/wikibooks-opengl What do you think? What topics are you interested in?

Thanks andy_boy, much appreciated!

There's still room for improvements in the tutorials, so if you feel that more maths explanations are needed in a tutorial, feel free to leave a comment on that page

Oh no, I just have to brush up on my math in general, it has nothing to do with any criticism of your tutorials.

Keep up the good work.

A little status update after one month, to say that we've been progressing with a stack of new tutorials

The latest one is how to implement a nifty teleporter system as in Portal!

Keep up the good work.

In a few months, I'll be finished giving my math and programming skills a much needed polish.

After that, I'll be taking a look at your tutorials along with a few others.
