Opengl is drawing nothing but telling me there is no errors

Question

When I run the program, the window is just black. I've been using this tutorial https://open.gl/drawing. Though I didn't copy it verbatim. glgeterror turned up 0. What's wrong with my code. I used 9 array elements instead of the 6 suggested in the tutorial but made up for it.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <GL/glew.h>
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>

int main(){
    //window initalization
        if(!glfwInit()){
                fprintf(stderr,"failed glfw initialization");
                return -1;
        }

        GLFWwindow* window = glfwCreateWindow(800,800,"i hope this works",NULL,NULL);
        if (!window){
                fprintf(stderr,"window creation failed");
                return -1;
        }
        glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
    //glew initialization
        glewExperimental = 1;
        if(glewInit() != GLEW_OK){
                fprintf(stderr,"glew failed to initialize");
                return -1;

    //vertex specification(vs)
    //vertex array object(vs)
    GLuint vao;
    glGenVertexArrays(1, &vao);
    glBindVertexArray(vao);

    //vertex buffer object(vs)
    GLuint vbo;
    glGenBuffers(1, &vbo);

    //vertex data(vs)
    const GLfloat tri_verts[] = {
        -1.0f,1.0f,0.0f,
        -1.0f,0.0f,0.0f,
         1.0f,0.0f,0.0f};
        //-west +east -south +north -farther +closer
        //{{x,y,z}{x,y,z}{x,y,z}}
        //just a nemonic to associate which direction each letter goes.

    //bind the vertices to the buffer(vs)
    glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vbo);
    glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER,sizeof(tri_verts),tri_verts,GL_STATIC_DRAW);

    void main()\
    {\

    }";

    //shader compilation(vp)
    GLuint vertexShader = glCreateShader(GL_VERTEX_SHADER);
    glShaderSource(vertexShader, 1,&Vshader_source,NULL);

Looks like a matter of several typos to me. First, the big one:

if(glewInit() != GLEW_OK){
    fprintf(stderr,"glew failed to initialize");
    return -1;

There's no closing brace for this error check. So most of your program actually isn't even executing, because it's inside this block.

Your vertex shader:

version 330
in vec3 position;
void main()
  gl_Position = vec4(position,1.0);

version 330 should be #version 330. main should have braces. Corrected version:

#version 330
in vec3 position;
void main() {
  gl_Position = vec4(position,1.0);
}

As genpfault mentioned, you also didn't include newlines (\n). That's alright (if a bit...ugly) for most things, but not for directives like #version. You need a newline after it.

In the future, you should really save yourself some trouble and load shaders from a file instead of embedding them as a multi-line string. Speaking of which, if you really are going to use multi-line strings like that, do it this way:

const GLchar* Vshader_source =
    "#version 330\n"
    "in vec3 position;"
    "void main() {"
    "  gl_Position = vec4(position,1.0);"
    "}";

The preprocessor automatically concatenates constant strings when they are separated by nothing but whitespace. Bit more manageable than all those backslashes!

Next,

glBindFragDataLocation(shaderProgram,0,"outcolor");

In your frag shader you called it outColor, not outcolor. Case matters here!

No, I'm not positive that I caught them all but...that should be a start?
