OpenGL SDK now online

Category: Developers

Feb 23, 2007

This is not a traditional SDK in the sense that it doesn’t arrive on CD-ROM, and it isn’t one monolithic download. Instead, it is a gathering of 3rd party contributions from many of the leaders in the community. In some cases the information and downloads are available directly from the SDK on opengl.org. In other cases, you’ll find links to the original materials elsewhere on the web. In all cases, the contributions have been hand selected and represent the best of what’s out there. New contributions will come online often, so check back frequently.
