★★★★☆

Foundations of Graphics & Compute - Volume 2: Rendering offers a compelling take on webgpu, though not without flaws. While the treatment of simulation is excellent, I found the sections on simulation less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about JavaScript that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing simulation more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for JavaScript will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on wgsl, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Foundations of Graphics & Compute - Volume 2: Rendering! It completely changed my perspective on webgpu. At first I wasn't sure about Web Development & Design, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Web Development & Design 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 wgsl. 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!
