FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
OpenGL 3 Training Registration Open : Los Angeles
Chicago, IL, January 18, 2010
Tech Soup announces open registration for its next OpenGL 3 course, March 30 - April 2, 2010, in Los Angeles. Tech Soup is the leader in cross-platform 3D graphics training for software developers. OpenGL 3 includes many new features and changes that make it fundamentally different from prior versions of OpenGL. This course covers everything developers need to know to take maximum advantage of OpenGL 3 and ensure their applications are compatible with future versions of the API. Course topics include:
OpenGL 3 and the OpenGL Shading Language.
3D graphics concepts and programming techniques.
Vertex Buffer Objects, PixelBuffer Objects, FrameBuffer Objects, GLSL.
Maximizing performance and graphics hardware architectures.
Differences among OpenGL 3 and earlier versions.
This four-day course teaches the fundamentals of OpenGL 3. Developers attending the course learn the mechanisms behind fast, efficient, modern 3D graphics on current graphics hardware. Through instruction and labs, students take a triangle from concept to screen, learn how to access buffered data, move data to and from graphics hardware, add textures and lights, and use the OpenGL Shading Language for additional rendering effects. Students learn how to ensure backward and forward compatibility in a cross-platform environment. Instruction is hands-on with numerous labs, where students turn concepts into practical knowledge.
Students are required to bring their own computers. Supported platforms include Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. All attendees receive electronic copies of labs and example software.
