But you don't need to be a c++ geek, some basics should be fine.
It's importent to choose an actual OpenGL tutorial as the most starts with deprecated functions. eg: http://www.opengl-tutorial.org
You'll need some math knowledge in linear algebra :-)
I also recormends to read some GPGPU hints as they all apply to any other GPU API, too. Here you'll lern how the gpu can access memory and what could run parallel.
The OpenGL wiki is also fine: http://www.opengl.org/wiki - but it isn't useable for beginners
