WebGPU API: An Introduction is a comprehensive exploration of webgpu that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 8 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 2's discussion of graphics 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 some examples felt dated, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with WebGPU API: An Introduction, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains compute 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 compute - it reminded me so much of my own experience with wgsl. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

While WebGPU API: An Introduction makes several valuable points about graphics, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of compute seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to shader. That said, the sections on shader are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in wgsl, this could be a truly outstanding work.
