I absolutely loved Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 5: Ray-Tracing! It completely changed my perspective on webgpu. At first I wasn't sure about graphics, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Web Development & Design 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 JavaScript. What I appreciated most was how the book made webgpu feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

★★★★☆

Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 5: Ray-Tracing offers a compelling take on webgpu, though not without flaws. While the treatment of webgpu is excellent, I found the sections on compute less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Programming that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing webgpu more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for ray-tracing will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Programming, if not the definitive work.
