While Vulkan Compute: High-Performance Compute Programming with Vulkan and Compute Shaders makes several valuable points about shader, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of ai seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to compute. That said, the sections on vulkan are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in compute, this could be a truly outstanding work.

Vulkan Compute: High-Performance Compute Programming with Vulkan and Compute Shaders is a comprehensive exploration of programming that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 8 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 2's discussion of shader is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that some examples felt dated, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
