OpenGL in C

Today I started working with OpenGL in C hoping to achieve "Something" in this summer holiday when I have more time to read more about it.

So it's just a simple start .. just read few tutorials about the basics of the subject and started with a simple piece of code.



The problem is that our study is in Java .. and I'm new to C .. so there are two ways to go now ..

1] JOGL "Java-OGL" :: but I'm still having problems setting everything up and running the code.
2] Spend more time reading about C and how to make simple windows/GUI's with it .. but I don't think that I'm going to go in this way because there're already tons of things in my To-Do list for this summer.. and something like that can take lots of time if I wanted to do it right.
