While Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 3: Computing makes several valuable points about machine learning, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of simulation seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to webgpu. That said, the sections on shader are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in wgsl, this could be a truly outstanding work.

Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 3: Computing 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 3's discussion of machine learning 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 pacing could be better, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
