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 webgpu, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains graphics 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 Computers & Technology feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

First Edition Collector

★★★★☆

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

The author's approach to webgpu demonstrates a sophisticated understanding that will benefit both novice and experienced readers alike. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion on Web Development & Design, which provides fresh insights into graphics. The methodological rigor and theoretical framework make this an essential read for anyone interested in compute. While some may argue that Books, the overall quality of the research and presentation is undeniable. This volume will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field of ray-tracing.
