WebGPU Shader Language Development: Vertex, Fragment, Compute Shaders for Programmers
A crisp, motivating guide through webgpu, programming, graphics, compute. It stays engaging by mixing big-picture context with small, repeatable actions.
If you enjoyed Special Effects Programming with WebGPU (Hardback), this one scratches a similar itch—especially around february and momentum.
