Setting up OpenGL with C++ and Visual Studio 2008

Question

Hey I was wondering if there are any good tutorial out there on how to set this up? I have seen the NeHe tutorials from gamedev.net but some of them seem to be out dated... any clues?

thanks

Answer 1

NeHe may be a little old, but it's certainly not outdated. Unlike DirectX, OpenGL gets updated very seldomly. The tutorials there are still perfectly good for modern OpenGL programming. The Visual C++ code for lesson 1 should work in pretty much any non-ancient version of Visual Studio, and the code for most of the samples is available in many, many languages and platforms.
