I want to learn OpenCL but don't know where to start
Hey everyone, like the headline says I want to learn how to use OpenCL but I don't know where to start. I have some programming experience (Rust, Python, Pascal) but I don't even know how to install the requirements for OpenCL (let alone what they even are), mostly because most tutorials and guides are 7+ years old and the information from Krohnos themselves isn't ready yet (https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-Guide). If you have any advice how to start with OpenCL 3.0 please let me know (maybe it is alright to follow the tutorials for OpenCL 1 or 2 after all).

Khronos Group releases OpenCL 3.0.14 update
Khronos has today released the OpenCL 3.0.14 maintenance update that introduces a new cl_khr_command_buffer_multi_device provisional extension that enables execution of a heterogeneous command-buffers across multiple devices. This release also includes significant improvements to the OpenCL C++ Bindings, a new code generation framework for the OpenCL extension headers, and the usual clarifications and bug fixes. The new specifications can be downloaded from the OpenCL Registry.

I want to learn OpenCL but don't know where to start
Basically, it is harder to start without vendor SDK, but it is totally possible. If you have a device with claimed opencl support the only thing you have to install is their vendor-provided driver. Usually (95%) that will provide you an OpenCL.dll / libopencl.so which you can load dynamically, get address of needed API function and use that in your code. To develop from C/C++ environment it is enough to have dynamic library in your system and https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-Headers from here.
