Special Effects Programming with WebGPU 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 1'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 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 Special Effects Programming with WebGPU, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains compute made everything click for me. I've been struggling with shader for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about simulation - it reminded me so much of my own experience with compute. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

While Special Effects Programming with WebGPU makes several valuable points about simulation, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of compute seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to ai. That said, the sections on wgsl are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in shader, this could be a truly outstanding work.
