Prologue Pundit

★★★★★

Pervasive WebGPU & WGSL: Graphics & Compute offers a compelling take on WebGPU, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Game Development is excellent, I found the sections on Metal less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Game Development that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Graphics Programming more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Game Development will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Web Graphics, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Pervasive WebGPU & WGSL: Graphics & Compute! It completely changed my perspective on WebGPU. At first I wasn't sure about High-Performance, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Web Graphics 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 Web Graphics. 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!
