Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 2: Rendering is a comprehensive exploration of webgpu that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 7 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 3's discussion of webgpu 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.

As a scholar in webgpu, I found Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 2: Rendering to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to webgpu is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of wgsl, which offers a compelling framework for understanding wgsl. While some may argue that simulation, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about webgpu.

While Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 2: Rendering makes several valuable points about webgpu, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of graphics seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to ai. That said, the sections on compute are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in simulation, this could be a truly outstanding work.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 2: Rendering, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains wgsl made everything click for me. I've been struggling with wgsl for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about graphics - it reminded me so much of my own experience with graphics. I've already recommended it to all my friends!
