I absolutely loved Ray-Tracing with Vulkan - Owners' Workshop Manual - Programming (Beginners Onwards): Everything You Need To Get Started With Vulkan Ray-Tracing! It completely changed my perspective on programming. At first I wasn't sure about Books, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains programming 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 OpenGL. What I appreciated most was how the book made Graphics & Multimedia feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

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 Books is excellent, I found the sections on shader less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about ai that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing ai 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 Programming, if not the definitive work.
