I absolutely loved DirectX+HLSL/Graphics/Compute All-in-One! It completely changed my perspective on DirectX. At first I wasn't sure about Programming, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Compute Shaders 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 Compute Shaders. What I appreciated most was how the book made GPU Computing feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

DirectX+HLSL/Graphics/Compute All-in-One offers a compelling take on DirectX, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Software Development is excellent, I found the sections on HLSL less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Rendering that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Game Development more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Game Development will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Optimization, if not the definitive work.
