I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with WebGPU and WGSL by Example: Fractals, Image Effects, Ray-Tracing, Procedural Geometry, 2D/3D, Particles, Simulations, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains ray-tracing made everything click for me. I've been struggling with ai for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about ai - it reminded me so much of my own experience with ray-tracing. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

While WebGPU and WGSL by Example: Fractals, Image Effects, Ray-Tracing, Procedural Geometry, 2D/3D, Particles, Simulations makes several valuable points about ray-tracing, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of ray-tracing seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to webgpu. That said, the sections on ray-tracing are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in visualization, this could be a truly outstanding work.

WebGPU and WGSL by Example: Fractals, Image Effects, Ray-Tracing, Procedural Geometry, 2D/3D, Particles, Simulations is a comprehensive exploration of webgpu that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 4 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 5's discussion of ray-tracing 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.
