While Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 3: Computing makes several valuable points about wgsl, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of simulation seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to shader. That said, the sections on programming are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in graphics, this could be a truly outstanding work.

Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 3: Computing is a comprehensive exploration of webgpu that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 4 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 1's discussion of wgsl 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.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 3: Computing, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains webgpu made everything click for me. I've been struggling with webgpu for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about shader - it reminded me so much of my own experience with simulation. I've already recommended it to all my friends!
