I absolutely loved Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 5: Ray-Tracing! It completely changed my perspective on webgpu. At first I wasn't sure about JavaScript, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains webgpu 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 Web Development & Design feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 5: Ray-Tracing offers a compelling take on webgpu, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Books is excellent, I found the sections on JavaScript less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about webgpu that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing JavaScript more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Computers & Technology will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on JavaScript, if not the definitive work.
