If you want practical clarity, this is a strong pick: WebGPU, WGSL, Web Graphics, GPU Compute presented in a way that turns into decisions, not just notes.
ISBN: 9798299175356 Published: August 21, 2025 WebGPU, WGSL, Web Graphics, GPU Compute, Shaders, Web Development, Graphics Programming, High-Performance, Rendering, Vulkan, Metal, Compute Programming
What you’ll learn
Build confidence with GPU Compute-level practice.
Connect ideas to read, 2026 without the overwhelm.
Spot patterns in Metal faster.
Turn Web Development into repeatable habits.
Who it’s for
Experienced readers who want sharper frameworks. Comfortable for mixed ages and attention spans.
How to use it
Read one section, write one note, apply one idea the same day. Bonus: keep a “next action” list on the inside cover.
I’ve already recommended it twice. The High-Performance chapter alone is worth the price. (Side note: if you like Shaders Unchained: Writing Powerful Shaders for Every Platform, you’ll likely enjoy this too.)
