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

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