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 compute, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of programming seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to graphics. That said, the sections on graphics are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in compute, this could be a truly outstanding work.

Ray-Tracing with Vulkan - Owners' Workshop Manual - Programming (Beginners Onwards): Everything You Need To Get Started With Vulkan Ray-Tracing 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 1's discussion of compute 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 the pacing could be better, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
