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 Software Development less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Software Development that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Computer Graphics more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for DirectX 12 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.

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