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 simulation made everything click for me. I've been struggling with webgpu for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about webgpu - it reminded me so much of my own experience with simulation. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

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 3 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 1'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.

While WebGPU and WGSL by Example: Fractals, Image Effects, Ray-Tracing, Procedural Geometry, 2D/3D, Particles, Simulations makes several valuable points about graphics, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of webgpu seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to graphics. That said, the sections on ai 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 WebGPU and WGSL by Example: Fractals, Image Effects, Ray-Tracing, Procedural Geometry, 2D/3D, Particles, Simulations to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to graphics is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of simulation, which offers a compelling framework for understanding ai. While some may argue that ray-tracing, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about webgpu.
