Aside from that, for more foundational information about how things like rendering and shaders work, there's a plethora of content out there such as NVIDIA's "Life of a Triangle" blog post or Fabien Giesen's "A trip through the Graphics Pipeline" blog post. There's really too much to link, so I'm just gonna link this treasure trove of resources covering dozens upon dozens of articles, presentations and blog posts from general computer graphics, GPU programming and architecture, software development, OpenGL-specific resources for getting into graphics programming, etc.
