I absolutely loved Vulkan Essentials! It completely changed my perspective on programming. At first I wasn't sure about compute, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains visualization 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 Game Programming feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

★★★★☆

Vulkan Essentials offers a compelling take on programming, though not without flaws. While the treatment of vulkan is excellent, I found the sections on Programming less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about visualization 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 vulkan 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.
