I'm thinking of purchasing that. I'm a total newb to C++, and I'm looking ot get into programming myself. I mean i know HTML for the most part, and CSS isn't hard really. But I want a challenge. I need something to keep me busy. Thing is, I'll be doing this in Ubuntu, and it recomends Microsoft Visual C++ or something.
Also, I typed this out last night and thought I posted it.....I am teh dumbs.
You don’t need a paid for Integrated Development Environment to produce OpenGL programs via Ubuntu. All you need is to download appropriate libraries for the free GCC C/C++ compiler and a text editor. Programs can be compiled via a gcc terminal command including options -lglut and -lGLU. There can be complications on installing libraries. A work around for this, with links to source code, commands used and other Linux/graphics adapter issues,- can be found in my report:
