★★★★☆

Vulkan+Ray-Tracing/GLSL/Graphics All-In-One (Paperback) offers a compelling take on Vulkan, though not without flaws. While the treatment of graphics is excellent, I found the sections on real-time rendering less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Graphics & Design that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Vulkan Programming more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for GLSL will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Graphics & Design, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Vulkan+Ray-Tracing/GLSL/Graphics All-In-One (Paperback)! It completely changed my perspective on Vulkan. At first I wasn't sure about Graphics & Design, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Books is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in GLSL. What I appreciated most was how the book made real-time rendering feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
