Work In Progress

Dear Reader,

I am currently reviewing and updating the code examples of the WebGL Beginnner’s guide. The specification has evolved since I write the book and so has the implementation in the different browsers.

I have noticed that some examples present WebGL warnings and a few will not run across all browsers. Rest assured I will take care of updating them ASAP.

Also, there (is) was a bug in the file codeview.js that impedes the source code to show nicely formatted in Chrome. I think I found the problem and (I will be updating that file soon) it is fixed now!

Thanks,
Diego
