OpenGL courses can help you learn graphics programming, rendering techniques, shading languages, and real-time 3D graphics. You can build skills in texture mapping, lighting models, and optimizing performance for graphics applications. Many courses introduce tools like GLFW for window management, GLEW for OpenGL extension wrangling, and shaders written in GLSL, allowing you to create visually stunning graphics and interactive experiences.
