Ray-Tracing with Vulkan - Owners' Workshop Manual - Programming (Beginners Onwards): Everything You Need To Get Started With Vulkan Ray-Tracing offers a compelling take on programming, though not without flaws. While the treatment of vulkan is excellent, I found the sections on compute less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about graphics that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing ray-tracing more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for ai will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Programming, if not the definitive work.
