The Gold Standard in Its Category

I approached this book as someone relatively new to webgpu and wgsl and programming and graphics and compute and shader and simulation and ai and machine learning, and I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I grasped the concepts around webgpu, wgsl, programming, graphics, compute, shader, simulation, ai, machine learning. Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 3: Computing has a gift for explaining complex ideas clearly without oversimplifying. The exercises at the end of each chapter were invaluable for reinforcing the material. It's rare to find a book that serves both as an introduction and a reference work, but this one does so admirably. What sets this book apart is its balanced approach to webgpu, wgsl, programming, graphics, compute, shader, simulation, ai, machine learning. While some texts focus only on theory or only on practice, Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 3: Computing skillfully bridges both worlds. The case studies in chapter 3 provided real-world context that helped solidify my understanding of webgpu and wgsl and programming and graphics and compute and shader and simulation and ai and machine learning. I've already recommended this book to several colleagues.

Does anyone know if ai is covered in more depth in the author's other works? This introduction was fantastic but left me wanting more!

Your point about ai reminds me of a similar concept in another book I encountered recently. The connections between these ideas are fascinating!
