Vulkan Compute: High-Performance Compute Programming with Vulkan and Compute Shaders offers a compelling take on programming, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Books is excellent, I found the sections on Books less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Books that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Programming 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 shader, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Vulkan Compute: High-Performance Compute Programming with Vulkan and Compute Shaders! It completely changed my perspective on programming. At first I wasn't sure about Computers & Technology, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Computers & Technology 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 Programming feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
