Whoops, I just saw that my earlier answer was totally
inaccurate.
I was on my phone at the time, so didn't look at the code in
detail.
No big deal, figured you just missed it / auto response to this
kinda question. I did my best to google this question, but wasn't
really sure where to begin.
Yes, ##opengl on freenode has good tutorials and examples in the
topic. If you've been reading NeHe, drop it. NeHe is severely
out
of date and anyone still recommending it probably don't know
what
they're talking about.
Here's some links:

https://github.com/progschj/OpenGL-Examples

Exactly the kinda thing I was looking for. Thanks for the heads
up about NeHe.
Note that modern OpenGL is a bit more involved to get something
on the screen. You'll be writing a lot more boilerplate in the
beginning, but a lot of the modern features are definitely worth
it.
I came from web development, you're meaning to tell me there's
coding outside of writing boilerplate? Jokes aside, figured if I
took the time to learn a modern language, I'd be consistent with
adding in newer technologies :)
