Hi folks,

Just planning to start coding using Visual C++ 2008 for some graphics drawing on a small project, one of my hobbies actually. Got books about OpenGL programming guide, C++ programming and a few others.

The hardware is Intel Q6600 and ATI Raedon 4870 1GB, know it's not a top end setup but i just need it to do some static graphics objects so should be okay.


The OS is Vista, again know it's not the best OS out there but can't afford to upgrade at the moment so live with it.


Got a bit rusty on VC++ and my first time to use OpenGL, where do I download OpenGL and how do I call the various commands?

Appreciate for your help
