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 8 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 2's discussion of webgpu 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.

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

Can someone help me understand ray-tracing from chapter 9? I'm struggling to see how it connects to graphics.
