WebGPU (Graphics and Compute) API in 20 Minutes: (Coffee Break Series) is a comprehensive exploration of webgpu that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 4 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 4's discussion of simulation 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 WebGPU (Graphics and Compute) API in 20 Minutes: (Coffee Break Series) makes several valuable points about simulation, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of wgsl seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to wgsl. That said, the sections on javascript are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in javascript, this could be a truly outstanding work.
