I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 1: Primer, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains graphics made everything click for me. I've been struggling with compute 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 graphics. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

While Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 1: Primer makes several valuable points about graphics, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of programming seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to programming. That said, the sections on graphics are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in programming, this could be a truly outstanding work.
