I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Real-Time Ray-Tracing with Vulkan for the Impatient, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains compute made everything click for me. I've been struggling with shader 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!

Real-Time Ray-Tracing with Vulkan for the Impatient is a comprehensive exploration of graphics that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 5 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 some examples felt dated, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
