just wondering if there is any good opengl / directx tutorials on the web that people have used ?

I do prefer c++, but c# is good enough for when I am using windows/mono development environment.

thanks for any sites :)

first of all opengl is a grapics api and has no support for sound or keybord/mouse input.

the official opengl book. it is very easy to understand for a beginner, but only covers graphics. no events, nothing. SDL is the main way to do this (gamewise)
