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

As a scholar in programming, I found Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 1: Primer to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to programming is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of graphics, which offers a compelling framework for understanding compute. While some may argue that compute, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about programming.

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 graphics for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about programming - it reminded me so much of my own experience with compute. I've already recommended it to all my friends!
