Foundations of Graphics & Compute - Volume 3: Computing (Hardback)
A high-signal read built around webgpu, wgsl, programming, graphics. It feels current because it aligns with 2026, read, february, yet timeless because it focuses on fundamentals.
The book rewards re-reading. On pass two, the simulation connections become more explicit and surprisingly rigorous. (Side note: if you like Special Effects Programming with WebGPU (Paperback), you’ll likely enjoy this too.)

I didn’t expect Foundations of Graphics & Compute - Volume 3: Computing (Hardback) to be this approachable. The way it frames simulation made me instantly calmer about getting started.

This is the rare book where I highlight a lot, but I also use the highlights. The shader sections feel super practical. (Side note: if you like WebGPU Compute, you’ll likely enjoy this too.)

If you enjoyed WebGPU Programming Guide: Interactive Graphics & Compute Programming with WebGPU & WGSL (Paperback), this one scratches a similar itch—especially around making and momentum.

From a structural standpoint, the text creates a coherent ladder: definitions → examples → constraints → application. That’s why the graphics arguments land.
