Hello, my name is Tabor Powelson, I am a Sophomore Soft. Eng and Math student.

OpenGL
Currently, my project is learning OpenGL. I am interested in 3D graphics, and am trying to use the Open Graphics Library to work on such a project. OpenGL is setup and working on my computer, and projects are in the process. As of now I am still trying to learn the basics.

I am starting to use GLUT primarily to make it easier to learn OpenGL.

The learning process is a lot slower than I had initially anicipated. I am making very slow process learning OpenGL. So far I have a vague understanding of making simple 2d shapes (kind of), but I am still having a lot of trouble. I have coded a few drawings but nothing too extravagent, and I am nowhere near being able to do 3d drawings (but hopefully soon). Heres a triangle and a square.

The learning process is slow but I am working on it. I will soon be able to produce nice looking graphics. I'm starting off slow, still trying to learn the basics of 2 dimensional drawings.

MySQL
I am still trying to learn MySQL, mostly for use with PHP to be used for web applications. That seems to be going well.
