Hi,

I'm a graduate student in CS working mainly with graphics. I started learning graphics about a year and a half ago (as an undergraduate) using JOGL, which was great at the time since Java was the primary language taught at my university. Since then, I started to learn OpenGL and DirectX using C++, but I still use JOGL for many academic projects for its platform independence.

One of the things I found difficult in using JOGL was a lack of resources or tutorials while getting started. Reading through an APIs documentation isn't always easy, so I wanted to put together some sort of quick-start guide. This was mainly for my own benefit, but I figured it may also help others out there.

If anyone would care to take a quick look through what I've written, please let me know if you see anything which isn't quite correct or misleading. One intention of the tutorials was to get an undergraduate student, new to graphics, to get up and running as quickly as possible. I don't cover OpenGL in much detail at all, as there are tons of resources available for it already.
