I absolutely loved Special Effects Programming with WebGPU! It completely changed my perspective on webgpu. At first I wasn't sure about Programming, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Books 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 graphics. What I appreciated most was how the book made shader feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
