Sadly, NeHe''s tutorials don''t teach me anything other then how to copy his coding and just change a few lines for my own project, so are there any good books out there that teach OpenGL? I have a number of books like Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus, but they all only teach DirectX....so where are the OpenGL books?

2 MUST have OGL books are:

(1) The OpenGL official Guide (also known as the "Red Book")
(2) The OpenGL SuperBible Second Edition

nuff said.I own both these books and I must seriously recommend you take a look at both of them.
