Vulkan Essentials offers a compelling take on programming, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Programming is excellent, I found the sections on Books less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Computers & Technology that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing ai more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for visualization 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 Vulkan Essentials! It completely changed my perspective on programming. At first I wasn't sure about Computers & Technology, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains compute 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 Game Programming. 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!
