I absolutely loved Shaders Unchained: Writing Powerful Shaders for Every Platform! It completely changed my perspective on Shaders. At first I wasn't sure about Metal, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Vulkan 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 OpenGL & Vulkan. 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!

Shaders Unchained: Writing Powerful Shaders for Every Platform offers a compelling take on Shaders, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Shader Art is excellent, I found the sections on HLSL less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Programming that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Programming more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Shader Art will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on HLSL, if not the definitive work.
