INTENSIVE TRAINING ANNOUNCEMENT- Intelligraphics is pleased to announce a 5-day intensive OpenGL™ ES & EGL training course. This course is tailor-made with driver developers in mind primarily focusing on OpenGL™ v1.1 and ES v2.0 for embedded systems development. The course also presents EGL v1.3 concepts and programming for creating drawing surfaces and initializing contexts. Although the class main focus is OpenGL™ for embedded systems it serves as a great primer for any version of OpenGL™ since ES v1.x was derived from OpenGL™ v1.5 and ES v2.0 was derived from OpenGL™ v2.0.
Programmers who will be writing graphics applications, demos, test cases with OpenGL™ ES
for the embedded environment, this course is designed for you! The class is intended for both
driver and application developers. Developers will benefit from the class by obtaining an indepth
understanding of the OpenGL™ ES API and the OpenGL™ graphics pipeline.
Developers will also gain the ability to quickly create and refine OpenGL™ ES test cases on
the windows platform and then easily port in their embedded environments.
The course provides definitive and comprehensive information on OpenGL™ concepts with
various hands-on lab exercises to reinforce the lessons. The instructor will emphasize on
fundamentals by providing the student with the basic foundation of OpenGL™ concepts and
build upon that model with more complex capabilities emulating real-world scenarios.
Our instructor-led courses are more than lectures; they give you hands-on practice developing
applications. Intelligraphics provides each student with their own PC and all course materials.
You learn quickly with hands-on exercises and get immediate answers to your questions from
our experienced instructor. The course manual serves as a comprehensive reference guide for
use after the course. Intelligraphics limits the course size to give you greater personal attention
and an opportunity to discuss your questions one-on-one with the instructor.
Course Objective
OpenGL™ has become widespread throughout the graphics
world and understanding the mechanisms, the limitations and key work-around are important
when writing complex programs. This course will open with a quick introduction to OpenGL™
exploring the main differences between ES v1.1 and ES v2.0 and then migrating into Windows
based ES V1.1 Emulator. Throughout the course the instructor will build upon the foundation
by introducing various functionality, (such as fixed function pipeline, rendering primitives,
vertex array, various transformations, etc.) to create animation, wire frame and solid geometry.
The student will learn how to apply special effects (lighting, textures and other effects) to
increase realism. The course will introduce advance topics to challenge the students overall
comprehension of the material.
Upon completion of the course, the student should proficient in:
- Write programs with the OpenGL™ ES 1.1 application programming interface to draw 3D, lighted, texture mapped, anti-aliased, wire frame and solid geometry.
- Write programs with the OpenGL™ ES 2.0 application programming interface.
- Write vertex and fragment shader programs to draw many features contained in OpenGL™ ES 1.1 and beyond.
