★★★★★

Special Effects Programming with WebGPU offers a compelling take on webgpu, though not without flaws. While the treatment of webgpu is excellent, I found the sections on JavaScript less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about JavaScript that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing JavaScript 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.

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