★★★★☆

I absolutely loved Beginner's Guide to Game Animation Programming! It completely changed my perspective on Game Animation. At first I wasn't sure about Computer Graphics, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Vulkan 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 Programming. What I appreciated most was how the book made Animation Programming feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

★★★★★

Beginner's Guide to Game Animation Programming offers a compelling take on Game Animation, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Vulkan is excellent, I found the sections on Interactive Media less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Game Development that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Game Development more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Game Development will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on C++, if not the definitive work.
