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 5 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 5's discussion of programming 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 Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 3: Computing makes several valuable points about programming, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of machine learning seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to simulation. That said, the sections on ai are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in shader, this could be a truly outstanding work.

Can someone help me understand machine learning from chapter 3? I'm struggling to see how it connects to simulation.
