OpenGL Game Programming

Take a look at them on Amazon and make your decision.

since every transform is cumulative on the current modelview matrix you have to reset it with glLoadIdenty() to avoid this effect

-> e.g. translation of an object followed by a rotation it is not equal to first rotate it and than translate (matrix multiplication is in general not commutative)
