This course will cover the fundamentals of OpenGL and OpenGL ES in Android.  This course is unique because it covers the mechanics of how OpenGL works and also more practical applications to draw 2D and 3D objects.  This is an ideal primer for more complex courses on VR and AR within Android.  
We'll begin by covering the OpenGL Pipeline and Shading Language.  Then we'll look at drawing simple 2D objects and increasingly complicated 3D objects in OpenGL and OpenGL ES.  

There are practical exercises throughout the course to apply your understanding, and there is a summative project which can form part of your professional portfolio.

Fundamentals of OpenGL in Android

In this first module, we're going to cover the basics of OpenGL in Android. We'll start by outlining the OpenGL Pipeline where you'll learn how OpenGL renders graphics. We'll then look at a programming language used to work with the pipeline called the OpenGL Shading Language. Following this, I'll give a brief overview of OpenGL ES, which is a variant of OpenGL for portable devices. We'll close the module by covering basic primitive types in OpenGL.
