how to work with OpenGL?

[puma]

Hello.
Does anybody know any good resource on the Internet on how to start working with OpenGL? (and any libraries I might need)

Thank you in advance.

There is an openGL library for C#.NET(CsGL)
http://csgl.sourceforge.net/

Actually CSGL is very old and very unsupported. Tao is a framework that not only includes OpenGL, but also Glut, SDL, and various other APIs for sound and image loading. The web site is undergoing reconstruction @ www.taoframework.com but you can download the latest version on the Mono CVS

BTW, the OpenGL wrappers work identically to the C++ counter-parts, so if you need help go to http://nehe.gamedev.net and read their tutorials. Tao versions can be found on the link provided above.

My recommendation to you is if youre using .Net, use DirectX as it is more supported.
Wyrd: Welcome back, its been a while since weve seen you around here.

He can use whatever he wants, Tao works with .NET flawlessly. Its a very well made framework.

Wyrd: Please dont get me wrong, I wasnt discouraging him from doing OpenGL .
I was merely giving him another suggestion.
