I absolutely loved DirectX+HLSL/Graphics/Compute All-in-One! It completely changed my perspective on DirectX. At first I wasn't sure about Game Development, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains GPU Computing 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 GPU Programming 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 Computer Graphics is excellent, I found the sections on Ray Tracing less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about DirectX 12 that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing GPU Computing more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Computer Graphics will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Shader Development, if not the definitive work.
