This is an excellent book which in only 239 pages gives a major jumpstart to anyone wanting to learn WebGL technology. The number of topics presented here is staggering, yet the concepts are described in adequate detail to make this a truly useful tutorial.
The WebGL specification is available free online for reference, as are documents about the libraries, but the value of this book is the well-explained examples that form the bulk of the content. After you read this book, you should understand the basics of 3D programming and WebGL graphics, animation, interaction, and integration with 2D Web pages.
The book examples are written in JavaScript programming, and also assume some very basic understanding of HTML and the DOM. However, I never programmed in JavaScript, yet with my Java and C++ background I had no problem understanding the code. In fact, if you have Java, C++, or C# background, you will end up learning JavaScript and the required HTML / DOM concepts just by reading the examples and their descriptions. Most experienced programmers will easily pick it up from reading the code and explanations.
You can run the examples and develop your own on Linux, Windows, and OS X using free, open source software; see the SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS section below.
STYLE
The author writes in clear and concise English. The tone is friendly and personable, at times like he is talking to you, but without fluff or filler content. The examples, with source available for download, are simple but powerful, and fun to use.
