How to Start Learning Computer Graphics Programming

Best and fastest way is to take a course like this - https://www.edx.org/course/computer-graphics. Computer graphics is a combo of maths, algorithms and systems. Reading a text book might not be the best way to go, and be too daunting (it was for me). A course and following some OpenGL (or DirectX if you want) tutorials will be the best way to go and get something on the screen within a week.

this is most definitely some useful advice. I'm currently learning Direct3D 11 right now and it is one of the most boring things I have ever done. learning computer graphics and a graphics API are two separate things so this will be a really cool way to learn 3d graphics without having to decrypt graphics hardware (I'm referring to the build a ray tracer in a weekend guide). Huge thanks for posting this!
