I absolutely loved Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 1: Primer! It completely changed my perspective on programming. At first I wasn't sure about graphics, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains 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 Computers & Technology. What I appreciated most was how the book made Books feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

★★★★★

Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 1: Primer offers a compelling take on programming, though not without flaws. While the treatment of compute is excellent, I found the sections on Programming less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about programming that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing compute more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Programming 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.
