    The language that you know best is the best language because 3D graphics itself is a complex subject and you want want to make sure that you at least know your programming language well. Besides the language, you need to know IDE well (if you are using an IDE). You also will be using external libraries depending on what your need is (such as DevIL for reading image files).

    From time to time, someone comes to this forum asking how to compile or about compile errors or linker errors or language specific questions. That's because they haven't studied enough before jumping into OpenGL.

    an open source GLU replacement library. Much more modern than GLU.
    float matrix[16], inverse_matrix[16];
    glhLoadIdentityf2(matrix);
    glhTranslatef2(matrix, 0.0, 0.0, 5.0);
    glhRotateAboutXf2(matrix, angleInRadians);
    glhScalef2(matrix, 1.0, 1.0, -1.0);
    glhQuickInvertMatrixf2(matrix, inverse_matrix);
    glUniformMatrix4fv(uniformLocation1, 1, FALSE, matrix);
    glUniformMatrix4fv(uniformLocation2, 1, FALSE, inverse_matrix);
