I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Shaders Unchained: Writing Powerful Shaders for Every Platform, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains Shader Art made everything click for me. I've been struggling with GPU Compute for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about Vulkan - it reminded me so much of my own experience with WebGPU. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

While Shaders Unchained: Writing Powerful Shaders for Every Platform makes several valuable points about DirectX, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of Shaders seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to Vulkan. That said, the sections on GLSL are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in OpenGL, this could be a truly outstanding work.
