Programmable pixel shaders

I got my hands on a Radeon9700, and one of the big features on it is programmable shaders. I was wondering if there were any good resources or anything on how to implement that in OpenGL.

ATI''s developer connection would be the first logical choice for searching for information on extension usage. Keep an eye on NVIDIA''s shader language too, since that might be pushed as a standard with more than a few folks.

ATI will have an SDK out soon with examples on how to use ARB_vertex_program and ARB_fragement_program on the 9700.

The ATI DevRel has some info up already, but it''s mostly DX specific:

Certainly, you can look at the extension specs here:
