While 101 Ray-Tracing, Ray-Marching and Path-Tracing Projects: A Hands-On Journey Through 101 Programming Project Examples makes several valuable points about ray-tracing, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of visualization seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to programming. That said, the sections on ray-tracing 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.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with 101 Ray-Tracing, Ray-Marching and Path-Tracing Projects: A Hands-On Journey Through 101 Programming Project Examples, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains programming made everything click for me. I've been struggling with graphics 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!

As a scholar in programming, I found 101 Ray-Tracing, Ray-Marching and Path-Tracing Projects: A Hands-On Journey Through 101 Programming Project Examples 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 programming, which offers a compelling framework for understanding visualization. While some may argue that javascript, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about programming.

101 Ray-Tracing, Ray-Marching and Path-Tracing Projects: A Hands-On Journey Through 101 Programming Project Examples is a comprehensive exploration of programming 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 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 some examples felt dated, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
