Importante:

Purtroppo non si terra' nessuna lezione di recupero, sappiate pero' che sono disponibile per domande su appuntamento. Preferibilmente organizzatevi in piccoli gruppetti con domande colletive e mandatemi una email o passate dal mio ufficio (stanza 47 circa di fronte al Prof. Fusiello) per concordare l'appuntamento. Sappiate che ho aggiornato il file tar.gz con tutto il malloppo. Colgo l'occasione per augurarvi buon lavoro!

Step-by-step Programming

First of all...

Follows a tar.gz file with all the lectures pages: html_openGL_tutorial.tar.gz.
In this file you can find the code of all the examples in the tutorial organized in different directories (one for each lecture), all the exercises with the relative proposed solutions (exercises and answers), utility files that you need for compiling (include and lib), and all the melite versions and relative needed files.
If you run "tar xzvf html_openGL_tutorial.tar.gz" the following directories structure will be created:

html_openGL_tutorial
         |
         +--- en: html pages
         |
         +--- images: all the images used in html pages
         |
         +--- tutorial
                  |
                  +--- README (read this file before compiling)
                  |
                  +--- answers: possible solutions of tutorial exercises
                  |
                  +--- exercises: tutorial exercises
                  |
                  +--- include: header files used by examples and exercises
                  |
                  +--- lib: library files used by examples and exercises
                  |
                  +--- mElite: all versions of melite and relative Makefiles
                  |
                  +--- examples
                           |
                           +--- lecture01: code of the examples in lecture01
                           .               and Makefile
                           .
                           .
                           +--- lecture10: code of the examples in lecture10
                                           and Makefile
