Debut Book Reviewer

★★★★☆

Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 5: Ray-Tracing offers a compelling take on webgpu, though not without flaws. While the treatment of ray-tracing is excellent, I found the sections on graphics less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Web Development & Design that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing JavaScript more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for JavaScript will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Computers & Technology, if not the definitive work.
