opengl

I'm looking to begin learning how to develop and design with opengl. Basically, I've got a slight knowledge of C, and will of course be learning more and also learning C++.

Does anyone have any advice on opengl for a guy in my position? e.g. a good beginners website or something? I'm not a "natural" programmer but will have to learn bloody fast and very soon!

Cheers!

Any other good websites or recommendations?

If you want some OpenGL programs to work with, the source code to the older versions of Quake has been released under an open source license. Quake 2 used OpenGL for sure, and I think a version of Quake 1 did as well. I've heard of projects where people are using these and other game engines to render house and building designs for presentations.
