Beginner's Guide to Game Animation Programming offers a compelling take on Game Animation, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Computer Graphics is excellent, I found the sections on Animation Programming less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about C/C++ Programming that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing C++ 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 Interactive Media, if not the definitive work.

At first I wasn't sure about Computer Graphics, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Vulkan 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 Programming. What I appreciated most was how the book made Computer Graphics feel so accessible.
