OpenGL is the C++ library for graphical applications, mostly 3D.

They are all markup languages - XML has the most features, base HTML the fewest. They are used mostly for web programming, allowing access to databases from the web, etc.

A lot of web applications also use scripting - vb, cgi, php, java are some languages used.

a. you mean we can write 3D application by using OpenGL, like the 3DstudioMax application.

b. then we should learn XML better than HTML, rite?
