★★★★☆

I absolutely loved Foundations of Graphics & Compute - Volume 2: Rendering! It completely changed my perspective on webgpu. At first I wasn't sure about webgpu, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Books 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 compute. What I appreciated most was how the book made simulation feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

Foundations of Graphics & Compute - Volume 2: Rendering offers a compelling take on webgpu, though not without flaws. While the treatment of ai is excellent, I found the sections on Computers & Technology less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about webgpu that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing webgpu 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 wgsl, if not the definitive work.
