OpenGL Programming Guide, 8th Edition (Red Book). This is the official guide, and includes GLSL. Try to get the latest

edition, since OpenGL has changed a lot. The 7th edition may be OK, but earlier ones are not useful for this course.

OpenGL Superbible (Blue Book). A more tutorial introduction to OpenGL.
OpenGL 4.0 Shading Language Cookbook. Particularly useful if you already know ``old style'' OpenGL.

Here are the two previous terms:
