Hi all,

I am a Graphics Developer whose past experience was on developing
OpenVG graphics Lib. Now i am into application development using
OpenGL. Can Anyone of you help me with the following information.

1) From where i can get the open source code of OpenGL...and how can i
build it on linux and windows both.
2) Online Tutorials or books to start the openGL programming.

3) Basically where to start the OpenGL application Development.

Hope some of you Intelligent people will help me with providing the
information that i need. hope that you all will help in progressing
forward.

regards

OpenGL comes in the form of your installed graphics driver.* If
you got HW accelerated 3D you probably also got a working OpenGL
installation.

The headers required to start OpenGL development come with almost
all compilers. For *nix systems, where drivers bring their own
libGL.so the drivers usually also come with the required
headers, though the default ones comming with the X11
implementation are fine, too.

The "OpenGL Programming Guide" aka "Red Book"

Start simple, work your way up. The NeHe tutorials are an
excellent starting point.

* There is an OpenGL sample implementation, but this is just for
reference for driver developers and renderes purely in software.
You don't want that.

OpengGL SuperBible  is a very good and understandable book.Just try it.
Another book is The OpenGL Programming Guide,which also a  basical
tutoral.
You can get GLUT by searching GLUT in Google.Its source code  is
available.

No need. It's built into both Windows and Linux.

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know
that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,'
and then they actually change their minds and you never
hear that old view from them again.  They really do it.
It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists
are human and change is sometimes painful.  But it happens
every day.  I cannot recall the last time something like
that happened in politics or religion.
