opengl is a programming language, its used mainly to program graphical stuff, its also the main programming language used to program games. I did one tutorial a long time ago that made it so you walk around a room with brick walls, you can apply your own textures and everything(i think) the brick wall was built into openGL so I dont really know, its pretty cool.

You should also look for the blue & red book for the latest opengl. They are great books, the old ones are available for free online.
