WebGPU and WGSL by Example: Fractals, Image Effects, Ray-Tracing, Procedural Geometry, 2D/3D, Particles, Simulations 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 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 the conclusion seemed rushed, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with WebGPU and WGSL by Example: Fractals, Image Effects, Ray-Tracing, Procedural Geometry, 2D/3D, Particles, Simulations, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains simulation made everything click for me. I've been struggling with simulation for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about visualization - it reminded me so much of my own experience with ray-tracing. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

While WebGPU and WGSL by Example: Fractals, Image Effects, Ray-Tracing, Procedural Geometry, 2D/3D, Particles, Simulations makes several valuable points about ray-tracing, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of wgsl seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to ai. That said, the sections on simulation are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in webgpu, this could be a truly outstanding work.
