Jacek Matulewski's book is a comprehensive introduction to OpenGL, a programming interface for creating applications with 3D graphics. In recent years, OpenGL has undergone a major reform, making many older publications obsolete. This book presents the new version of OpenGL (from version 3.3 onwards, including version 4.*) in a way that is accessible to both beginner and experienced 3D graphics programmers. It can be treated as an academic textbook, which uses OpenGL to discuss the basic concepts of 3D graphics.

The author, Jacek Matulewski, focuses in his publication on the practical application of OpenGL, teaching how to create applications using three-dimensional graphics. Readers will learn how to program shaders in GLSL and will learn the theoretical foundations of matrix calculus, which are essential in three-dimensional graphics. The book also discusses the Phong lighting model and teaches how to implement it. As a result, readers will gain comprehensive knowledge and skills needed to create advanced graphics applications.
