I absolutely loved Beginner's Guide to Game Animation Programming! It completely changed my perspective on Game Animation. At first I wasn't sure about Animation Programming, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains C/C++ Programming 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 Computer Graphics. What I appreciated most was how the book made C/C++ Programming feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

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