Where to learn about Opengl programming in c/c++

Hi,
I am getting into open gl and taking tutorials from the various websites. I am stuck up at shaders. Is there any good tutorials with code to understand for shaders ?? I googled a lot about it, but I am finally losing it as each actually say theoretically what it is

If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would be grateful

Warm Regards, Debasish

You could start with a list of books and tutorials you already know. This will help others on the same quest as well.

I found http://www.opengl-tutorial.org/ recently, trying to learn openGL as well.

Re: Where to learn about Opengl programming in c/c++

for shader programming the reference is "the orange book" iirc the second version is free on internet.

I learned opengl and shader programming through books in the library of my university. A second way to get some ressources is to dig the scientific publications/thesis (some are free, some require membership, if you are student, try to know if your univ./schl. have an access)... If there is an university in your town I suggest you to visit the libraries (even if you'r not student...)...
