A question was asked about good, up-to date OpenGL resources, one of the answers was a link to a tutorial about modern OpenGL programming.
The tutorial in question uses GLUT and GLEW, but I have read somewhere that GLUT is obsolete. Is that true?
Answer
Is GLUT 3.7 out of date? Absolutely. You should never use it for anything.
However, FreeGLUT is perfectly fine to use. It is 100% backwards compatible with GLUT 3.7. FreeGLUT is a good utility to have when you need to slap together a quick and dirty program.
