I absolutely loved Vulkan Essentials! It completely changed my perspective on programming. At first I wasn't sure about visualization, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Programming 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 visualization. What I appreciated most was how the book made Programming feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

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