WebGPU Shader Language Development: Vertex, Fragment, Compute Shaders for Programmers
If you want practical clarity, this is a strong pick: webgpu, programming, graphics, compute presented in a way that turns into decisions, not just notes.
I read one section during a coffee break and ended up rewriting my plan for the week. The ray-tracing part hit that hard.

I’m usually wary of hype, but WebGPU Shader Language Development: Vertex, Fragment, Compute Shaders for Programmers earns it. The shader chapters are concrete enough to test.

If you enjoyed Special Effects Programming with WebGPU (Hardback), this one scratches a similar itch—especially around making and momentum.

What surprised me: the advice doesn’t collapse under real constraints. The programming sections feel field-tested.

It pairs nicely with what’s trending around week—you finish a chapter and think: “okay, I can do something with this.”

The book rewards re-reading. On pass two, the shader connections become more explicit and surprisingly rigorous. (Side note: if you like Special Effects Programming with WebGPU (Paperback), you’ll likely enjoy this too.)
