I'm interested in using jitter to make OpenGL applications. The jit.gl collection of objects is amazing and seems like an easy way to get started. But it looks like jit.gl.lua might indispensable as things scale. I found the page in the Reference about jit.gl.lua OpenGL Bindings, but a lot of those functions are pretty foreign to me.

I'm wondering where to begin in my explorations of OpenGL in jitter? It order to get to advanced level, is it inevitable that I will need a deep understanding of OpenGL itself? If so, what's the best way to get that?

I see a lot of tutorials online about working with OpenGL in C++ or Python, etc. I am familiar with both of these languages. Would it be worthwhile to go through some of that material to get oriented to OpenGL before really trying to dig into OpenGL in Jitter? Are there any tutorials out there that give an introduction to OpenGL through Jitter?

If I take the deep dive and study OpenGL in C++, would there be any advantage in coming back to Jitter?

I'm sure some of these are pretty naive questions. I'm definitely coming from a place where I don't know what I don't know. Right now I'm trying to plot a course of learning for myself so I can be proficient in adding fabulous 3d visuals to my patches.

I'd suggest starting from this series of tutorials:

Here you can find all sorts of jitter-related tutorials, from jit.gl objects to shader coding.
