I absolutely loved Special Effects Programming with WebGPU! It completely changed my perspective on webgpu. At first I wasn't sure about Programming, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains wgsl 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 Books. 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!

Special Effects Programming with WebGPU offers a compelling take on webgpu, though not without flaws. While the treatment of shader is excellent, I found the sections on Programming less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about simulation that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing compute 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 Web Development & Design, if not the definitive work.
