★★★★☆

I absolutely loved Special Effects Programming with WebGPU! It completely changed my perspective on webgpu. At first I wasn't sure about Web Development & Design, 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 webgpu. What I appreciated most was how the book made graphics feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

★★★★☆

Special Effects Programming with WebGPU offers a compelling take on webgpu, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Books is excellent, I found the sections on Programming less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about graphics that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Web Development & Design more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for graphics will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on JavaScript, if not the definitive work.
