Poetro, first, I want to say that your answers on this group have been insightful. But, I'd like to raise a point of conduct here. I don't think it's constructive to tell people to google a subject.
I believe that if people found this group, they've already googled enough to at least reach out. Do remember that there is a barrier to entry to post here - you must first find the group, register, and then email to post. So, for most, I imagine it's much easier to continue looking or even to join stackoverflow than to post here. So, I must think that the reason people post here is not due to their inability to google "webgl" but rather to get an opinion from the "JSMentors" about next steps one might take to learn a technology. In short, I don't think it's necessary to patronize posters by telling them to do something I am certain they've already done. -- Anatoly Geyfman http://www.geyfman.net On Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 11:55 AM, Poetro wrote: > 2011/9/11 xavierm02 <[email protected] > (mailto:[email protected])>: > > Hi, > > I wanted to take a look at WebGL and started reading tutorials about it but > > every single tutorial relies on a library whereas I want to learn "raw" > > WebGL. > > My goal isn't to do some kind of product or to master it.
