Special Effects Programming with WebGPU 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 4'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.

As a scholar in webgpu, I found Special Effects Programming with WebGPU to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to programming is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of wgsl, which offers a compelling framework for understanding ai. While some may argue that webgpu, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about webgpu.

While Special Effects Programming with WebGPU makes several valuable points about programming, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of ai seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to simulation. That said, the sections on compute are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in wgsl, this could be a truly outstanding work.

Can someone help me understand simulation from chapter 5? I'm struggling to see how it connects to programming.
