I absolutely loved Vulkan Essentials! It completely changed my perspective on programming. At first I wasn't sure about Game Programming, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains simulation 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 programming feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

Vulkan Essentials offers a compelling take on programming, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Computers & Technology is excellent, I found the sections on compute less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about visualization that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing simulation more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for compute 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.
