Hi all,
I have been extremely busy these couple of months with my book OpenGL Development Cookbook by Packt publishing. Its is a collection of recipes in OpenGL 3.3 core profile. The RAW form of the book is available here: http://www.packtpub.com/opengl-development-cookbook/book. I am already through with the final drafts.
All of the source code for the book will be hosted on github. Currently, I include visualstudio 2010 solution files and will be doing a premake version for other platforms. The detailed book contents are as follows:
Chapter 1 - Introduction to Modern OpenGL Development
- Setting up OpenGL 3.3 core profile in VisualStudio 2010 with freeglut, glew and glm libs
- Rendering a simple coloured triangles using shaders
- Ripple deformer in vertex shader
- Dynamic sub-division of a plane using geometry shader
- Dynamic sub-division with geometry shader and instanced rendering
- Drawing a 2D image using SOIL and fragment shader
Chapter 2 - 3D Viewing and Object Picking System Development
- A vector based camera model with FPS style input
- Free Camera
- Target Camera
- View Frustum Culling
- Object Picking using Depth Buffer
- Object Picking using Colour Buffer
- Object Picking using Scene Intersection Queries
Chapter 3 - Offscreen Rendering and Environment Mapping
- Twirl Filter using Fragment Shader
- Skybox using Static Cube Mapping
- Mirror using Render-to-Texture with FBO
- Reflective Object using Dynamic Cube Mapping
- Area Filtering (Sharpening/Blurring/Embossing) using Digital Convolution
- Glow Effect
Chapter 4 - Lights and Shadows
- Per-vertex and Per-fragment Point Lighting
- Per-fragment Directional Light
- Per-fragment Point Light with Attenuation
- Per-fragment Spot Light
- Shadow Mapping with FBO
- Shadow Mapping with percentage closer filtering (PCF)
- Variance Shadow Mapping
Chapter 5 - Working with Mesh Model Formats and Simple Particle Systems
- Loading Terrains using Heightmaps
- 3DS Model Loading using Separate Buffer Objects
- OBJ Model Loading using Interleaved Buffer Objects
- EZMesh Model Loading
- Simple Particle System
Chapter 6 - GPU-based Global Illumination and Alpha Blending Techniques
- Depth Peeling
- Dual Depth Peeling
- Screen Space Ambient Occlusion
- Spherical Harmonics
- GPU Ray Tracing
- GPU Path Tracing
Chapter 7 - GPU-based Volume Rendering Techniques
- Volume Rendering using 3D Texture Slicing
- Volume Rendering using Single-pass GPU Ray Casting
- Pseudo-isosurface Rendering in Single-pass GPU Ray Casting
- Volume Rendering using Splatting
- Transfer Function for Volume Classification
- Polygonal Isosurface Extraction using Marching Tetrahedra Algorithm
- Volumetric Lighting using Half Angle Slicing
Chapter 8 - Skeletal and Physically-based Simulation on the GPU
- Skeletal Animation using Matrix Palette Skinning
- Skeletal Animation using Dual Quaternion Skinning
- Modelling Cloth using Transform Feedback
- Collision Detection and Response on Transform Feedback Cloth
- Particle System using Transform Feedback
As you can see, there are plenty of techniques on offer. I do hope people find this book useful.
I will detail the github code repository soon.
Some sample Figures from the book.

Ripple Deformer using Vertex Shader
Variance Shadow Mapping

Dynamic Cube Mapping
I will update this post with more information soon.
Thanks,
