If you want practical clarity, this is a strong pick: programming, graphics, compute, visualization presented in a way that turns into decisions, not just notes.
From a structural standpoint, the text creates a coherent ladder: definitions → examples → constraints → application. That’s why the vulkan arguments land. (Side note: if you like WebGPU Data Visualization Cookbook (2nd Edition), you’ll likely enjoy this too.)
