Real-Time Rendering by Tomas Akenine-Moller, Eric Haines and Naty Hoffman - It does a good job at explaining concepts for game engine, basis for game client programming as well as the necessary knowledge for understanding DirectX and OpenGL. It covers the basic concepts of computer graphics and provides clear examples using OpenGL. Also, it provides several explanations of writing shaders. Very clear and well written book about Shading Language. It does a good job covering the basics and providing clear reference of the API. OpenGL Programming Guide by Dave Shreiner, et al. OpenGL Insights by Patrick Cozzi, Christophe Riccio - Rich and comprehensive resource to learn techniques and tips, covering several advanced topics of OpenGL. It presents all the necessary information to use the OpenGL ES 3.0 API in a clear manner. OpenGL ES 3.0 Programming Guide by Dan Ginsburg, et al. Interactive Computer Graphics by Edward Angel and Dave Shreiner - It provides several examples using OpenGL and it covers several aspects at once, but if you are trying to learn OpenGL on your own you might not find this helpful. However, this is not a OpenGL focused book, but contains valuable demonstrations of the technology. Computer Graphics is indeed a must for anyone being involved in the design and implementation of Computer Graphics algorithms.
