I absolutely loved Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 2: Rendering! It completely changed my perspective on webgpu. At first I wasn't sure about simulation, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains ai 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 Computers & Technology. 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 2: Rendering offers a compelling take on webgpu, though not without flaws. While the treatment of wgsl is excellent, I found the sections on simulation less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about simulation that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Programming more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Programming 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.
