John Kessenich
Thanks to Graham for doing so much of the writing. Thanks to Alison for her flexibility with lost weekends, taking interest in this project, and helping me put parts of it together. Thanks also to Google for their flexibility and support in scheduling my time. Finally, I’m thankful that Khronos continues to be an excellent shepherd of OpenGL advancement, which is ultimately the responsibility of dedicated individuals like Neil Trevett and Barthold Lichtenbelt.
Graham Sellers
Thanks to my wife, Chris; my kids; and the rest of my family for putting all the early mornings, late nights, weekends and vacations that I’ve spent holed up typing. To my colleagues at AMD and to my peers at Khronos who help to continually drive OpenGL forward, I am indebted. To you, the reader, thanks for paying attention. Here’s to OpenGL.
Dave Shreiner
First and foremost, thanks to John and Graham, both for being great coauthors and for doing a great job with this edition. I’m always indebted to Vicki and Cookie for their support and patience while I do projects when I should have been spending the time with them. Likewise, to my parents, Bonnie and Bob, who wax lyrical over my efforts; no son could be luckier or prouder. And as with every edition, my sincerest appreciation to the readers of this guide and the practitioners of OpenGL worldwide; may you have great success with OpenGL, and happy rendering!
