Private non-profit educational sites do exist

This is the first review I make. It’s a site that caught my attention because it’s really non-profit. No ads, no premium content, nothing. Just pure passion for a hobby. I’m talking about an OpenGL tutorial site made by a computer science student.

For those who don’t know what openGL is here is a brief explanation: it’s a library used to create 3d graphics, usually used for games. Using it to create cool 3d animations isn’t too hard (if you know how to code in C++ of course) so it’s a great attraction. If you are interested to learn more visit OpenGL tutorials.

Now on a more technical review I’ve asked for opinions from friends and it turns out things are pretty well covered and explained. What’s nice about it and stands out from a huge crowd of other opengl tutorial sites is that it explains working with complex 3D objects instead of messing around with primitives. This is actually useful and code from it can be used to develop 3D games.
