Memoir Reviewer
DirectX+HLSL/Graphics/Compute All-in-One offers a compelling take on DirectX, though not without flaws. While the treatment of GPU Programming is excellent, I found the sections on DirectX less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Shader Development that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Computer Graphics more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for GPU Computing will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Computer Graphics, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved DirectX+HLSL/Graphics/Compute All-in-One! It completely changed my perspective on DirectX. At first I wasn't sure about GPU Computing, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Rendering 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 GPU Computing. What I appreciated most was how the book made Optimization feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

I'm halfway through DirectX+HLSL/Graphics/Compute All-in-One and DirectX is blowing my mind!
Interesting perspective. I saw Optimization differently - more as HLSL.
For me, the real strength was DirectX 12, but I see what you mean about Graphics Pipeline.
I'd add that HLSL is also worth considering in this discussion.
Yes! And don't forget about Graphics Pipeline - that part was amazing.
