Can anyone recommend a good book or website that has tutorials. Need help from the ground up.

There are several good shader books. Check sites like amazon.com for reviews and info.

I'm not recommending them as such, but I have NVidia's "Cg Tutorial" and OGL's Orange book in my library and they pretty much explain shaders in a good level of detail.

I really like the Orange book.

But watch out, at the moment TSE doesn't support OGL, yet.........

but I for one have trouble seeing much difference between HLSL, Cg, and OGLSL. I haven't really researched the differences but I don't think they are very big.
