While Vulkan+Ray-Tracing/GLSL/Graphics All-In-One (Paperback) makes several valuable points about Vulkan, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of real-time rendering seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to Vulkan. That said, the sections on graphics are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in ray tracing, this could be a truly outstanding work.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Vulkan+Ray-Tracing/GLSL/Graphics All-In-One (Paperback), but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains Vulkan made everything click for me. I've been struggling with ray tracing 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 ray tracing. I've already recommended it to all my friends!
