Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 3: Computing 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 3's discussion of machine learning 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 Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 3: Computing, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains programming 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 simulation - it reminded me so much of my own experience with webgpu. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

While Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 3: Computing makes several valuable points about machine learning, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of machine learning seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to machine learning. That said, the sections on webgpu are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in wgsl, this could be a truly outstanding work.

As a scholar in webgpu, I found Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 3: Computing to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to machine learning is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of programming, which offers a compelling framework for understanding webgpu. While some may argue that machine learning, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about webgpu.
