Highlighted Quotes
"The most insightful perspective on webgpu I've encountered. This changed how I approach Computers & Technology entirely."
"As the author notes in chapter 7, 'graphics is not just about compute, but rather about ray-tracing.' This distinction makes all the difference."
"My key takeaway: 'ray-tracing, when properly understood, renders webgpu almost trivial.' The proof is in the results."
"Highlighted on page 90: 'The compute principle transforms ordinary Web Development & Design into exceptional Web Development & Design.'"
"The most insightful perspective on webgpu I've encountered. This changed how I approach Computers & Technology entirely."
