This book is a brief introduction to what is GLEW and how it can help to use the OpenGL extensions when they are available or not in the machine where you OpenGL application is executing.

The book guides you to how to install, and after how to use GLEW and provide a bunch of resources that you can take in account to enlarge your knowledge in the amazing OpenGL world.

For me, this book allows me to discover what GLEW is and how it can help if I would like to start to develop in OpenGL, but I think that it is only useful for scratch that surface and if you are interested in to get into OpenGL development and only want to cover your geek curiosity.
