I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Ray-Tracing with Vulkan - Owners' Workshop Manual - Programming (Beginners Onwards): Everything You Need To Get Started With Vulkan Ray-Tracing, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains shader made everything click for me. I've been struggling with programming for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about compute - it reminded me so much of my own experience with compute. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

While Ray-Tracing with Vulkan - Owners' Workshop Manual - Programming (Beginners Onwards): Everything You Need To Get Started With Vulkan Ray-Tracing makes several valuable points about ray-tracing, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of programming seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to compute. 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.
