Vulkan Essentials offers a compelling take on programming, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Books is excellent, I found the sections on Game Programming less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about simulation that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Game Programming more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for vulkan will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on graphics, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Vulkan Essentials! It completely changed my perspective on programming. At first I wasn't sure about visualization, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Game Programming is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in compute. What I appreciated most was how the book made Computers & Technology feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
