Praise for
WebGL Programming Guide
“WebGL provides one of the final features for creating applications that deliver ‘the desk-
top application experience’ in a web browser, and the WebGL Programming Guide leads the
way in creating those applications. Its coverage of all aspects of using WebGL—JavaScript,
OpenGL ES, and fundamental graphics techniques—delivers a thorough education on ev-
erything you need to get going. Web-based applications are the wave of the future, and this
book will get you ahead of the curve!”
Dave Shreiner , Coauthor of The OpenGL Programming Guide, Eighth Edition ; Series Editor,
OpenGL Library (Addison Wesley)
“HTML5 is evolving the Web into a highly capable application platform supporting beauti-
ful, engaging, and fully interactive applications that run portably across many diverse
systems. WebGL is a vital part of HTML5, as it enables web programmers to access the
full power and functionality of state-of-the-art 3D graphics acceleration. WebGL has been
designed to run securely on any web-capable system and will unleash a new wave of devel-
oper innovation in connected 3D web-content, applications, and user interfaces. This book
will enable web developers to fully understand this new wave of web functionality and
leverage the exciting opportunities it creates.”
Neil Trevett , Vice President Mobile Content, NVIDIA; President, The Khronos Group
“With clear explanations supported by beautiful 3D renderings, this book does wonders in
transforming a complex topic into something approachable and appealing. Even without
denying the sophistication of WebGL, it is an accessible resource that beginners should
consider picking up before anything else.”
Evan Burchard , Author, Web Game Developer’s Cookbook (Addison Wesley)
“Both authors have a strong OpenGL background and transfer this knowledge nicely over
to WebGL, resulting in an excellent guide for beginners as well as advanced readers.”
Daniel Haehn , Research Software Developer, Boston Children’s Hospital
“ WebGL Programming Guide provides a straightforward and easy-to-follow look at the me-
chanics of building 3D applications for the Web without relying on bulky libraries or wrap-
pers. A great resource for developers seeking an introduction to 3D development concepts
mixed with cutting-edge web technology.”
Brandon Jones , Software Engineer, Google
