Fractals: The Definitive Guide 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 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 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.

While Fractals: The Definitive Guide makes several valuable points about programming, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of visualization seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to javascript. That said, the sections on visualization are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in compute, this could be a truly outstanding work.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Fractals: The Definitive Guide, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains javascript made everything click for me. I've been struggling with visualization for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about shader - it reminded me so much of my own experience with javascript. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

Has anyone else noticed how Fractals: The Definitive Guide relates to compute? I was reading about compute and it made me think of chapter 10.
