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 WGSL, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains GPU Compute 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 GLSL. What I appreciated most was how the book made GLSL 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 Graphics Programming is excellent, I found the sections on Computer Graphics less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about GPU Compute that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Computers & Technology 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 DirectX, if not the definitive work.

While the treatment of Shaders is excellent, I found the sections on Computer Graphics less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about OpenGL & Vulkan that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Metal more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for OpenGL will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly.
