What you need for this book

In order to run the samples from this book, you will need a text editor and a C/C++ compiler. For the text editor, a free editor such as Notepad++ or SciTE could be used, and for the C/C++ compiler, GCC/G++, or Visual Studio (the Express version is free) are the best choices. As we are addressing the latest OpenGL version, a graphics card that supports at least OpenGL 4.3 will be needed.
