★★★★★

Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 1: Primer offers a compelling take on programming, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Computers & Technology is excellent, I found the sections on programming less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about programming that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing graphics more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Books will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on graphics, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 1: Primer! It completely changed my perspective on programming. At first I wasn't sure about Programming, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains graphics 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 Programming. What I appreciated most was how the book made compute feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
