As a scholar in webgpu, I found WebGPU and WGSL by Example: Fractals, Image Effects, Ray-Tracing, Procedural Geometry, 2D/3D, Particles, Simulations to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to graphics 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 graphics. While some may argue that wgsl, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about webgpu.

While WebGPU and WGSL by Example: Fractals, Image Effects, Ray-Tracing, Procedural Geometry, 2D/3D, Particles, Simulations makes several valuable points about graphics, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of simulation seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to webgpu. That said, the sections on webgpu 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.

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 4 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 4's discussion of graphics 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.
