While DirectX+HLSL/Graphics/Compute All-in-One makes several valuable points about Game Development, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of Game Development seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to Shader Development. That said, the sections on HLSL are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in HLSL, this could be a truly outstanding work.

As a scholar in DirectX, I found DirectX+HLSL/Graphics/Compute All-in-One to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to Game Development is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of Ray Tracing, which offers a compelling framework for understanding Game Development. While some may argue that HLSL, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about DirectX.
