I absolutely loved DirectX+HLSL/Graphics/Compute All-in-One! It completely changed my perspective on DirectX. At first I wasn't sure about Programming, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Programming 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 Software Development. What I appreciated most was how the book made HLSL feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

DirectX+HLSL/Graphics/Compute All-in-One offers a compelling take on DirectX, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Rendering is excellent, I found the sections on Shader Development 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 DirectX 12 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 Programming, if not the definitive work.
