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

★★★★☆

DirectX+HLSL/Graphics/Compute All-in-One offers a compelling take on DirectX, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Programming is excellent, I found the sections on Rendering 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 Optimization more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Software Development will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on GPU Programming, if not the definitive work.
