    New to OpenGl

    Ok Im fairly new to OpenGl, I do know a little bit of it(very little) and I would like to know if there are any good books about OpenGl for beginners, one that is fairly in-depth but still fairly easy to understand, and feel free to tell me why you think it is a good book . I figured the advanced forum would be a good place to ask instead of the beginner forum because you guys have more experience and would probably know of some good books. Please and Thank you

    Regards,

    Red book, blue book... Probably in that order.

    Another great reference is

    http://nehe.gamedev.net

    And of course...

    http://www.google.com

    Thanks for the reply.
