★★★★☆

Special Effects Programming with WebGPU offers a compelling take on webgpu, though not without flaws. While the treatment of shader is excellent, I found the sections on JavaScript less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about compute that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Web Development & Design more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Books 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.

I absolutely loved Special Effects Programming with WebGPU! It completely changed my perspective on webgpu. At first I wasn't sure about Books, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains 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 programming. What I appreciated most was how the book made Web Development & Design feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
