I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 1 - Primer, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains programming made everything click for me. I've been struggling with graphics for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about graphics - it reminded me so much of my own experience with compute. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

While Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 1 - Primer makes several valuable points about compute, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of programming seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to graphics. That said, the sections on compute are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in graphics, this could be a truly outstanding work.
