While Vulkan Graphics API in 20 Minutes (Coffee Break Series) makes several valuable points about graphics, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of graphics seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to vulkan. That said, the sections on graphics are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in vulkan, this could be a truly outstanding work.

The way the author explains graphics made everything click for me. I've been struggling with graphics for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed.
