Pervasive WebGPU & WGSL: Graphics & Compute

Almost excellent. A second edition could easily push it to five stars.

I came to this book already familiar with the basics, and it still had plenty to offer. The progression from chapter to chapter is well thought out; nothing feels out of order. The chapters on web graphics are the strongest — the examples are stripped down but complete, and I could follow along without constant guessing. Good value for the price and worth the time it takes to work through properly.

Not for me. The pacing did not work and I struggled to finish it.

I have been working with web graphics for a few years now and I still found plenty here that was new to me. The explanations are careful without being condescending, which is a difficult balance to strike. There is a section near the end that ties several earlier ideas together in a way I had not seen before. I would look elsewhere unless you have a specific reason to need this particular title.
