Highlighted Quotes
"My key takeaway: 'compute, when properly understood, renders webgpu almost trivial.' The proof is in the results."
"One powerful idea: 'Programming requires not just knowledge of webgpu, but mastery of wgsl.' The book shows exactly how to achieve this."
"As the author notes in chapter 7, 'wgsl is not just about graphics, but rather about compute.' This distinction makes all the difference."
"One powerful idea: 'Programming requires not just knowledge of webgpu, but mastery of wgsl.' The book shows exactly how to achieve this."
"Highlighted on page 192: 'The graphics principle transforms ordinary Web Development & Design into exceptional Web Development & Design.'"
