While Introduction to Ray-Tracing using WebGPU API in 20 Minutes: (Coffee Book Series) makes several valuable points about wgsl, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of graphics seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to ray-tracing. That said, the sections on graphics 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.

Introduction to Ray-Tracing using WebGPU API in 20 Minutes: (Coffee Book Series) 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 4's discussion of wgsl 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 some examples felt dated, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
