As a scholar in webgpu, I found Introduction to Ray-Tracing using WebGPU API in 20 Minutes: (Coffee Book Series) to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to ray-tracing is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of graphics, which offers a compelling framework for understanding compute. While some may argue that visualization, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about webgpu.

While Introduction to Ray-Tracing using WebGPU API in 20 Minutes: (Coffee Book Series) makes several valuable points about ray-tracing, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of graphics seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to wgsl. That said, the sections on graphics are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in compute, this could be a truly outstanding work.

Introduction to Ray-Tracing using WebGPU API in 20 Minutes: (Coffee Book Series) 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 2'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 more primary sources would strengthen the argument, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
