For learning OpenGL you might want to forgo the Cocoa connection at the
moment -- really, the Cocoa connection is minimal when you start out. Use
GLUT because you can find a *lot* of tutorials on the Net that use GLUT. In
fact, go look at <
http://nehe.gamedev.net> immediately. There are also many
GLUT-based programs on your hard drive in the
/Developer/Examples/GLUTExamples/ directory.
Eventually, no, GLUT is not needed when ou are building a Cocoa app, but it
is a handy way to start learning about OpenGL -- which is a big enough
project by itself!
Best,
Bob
