Highlighted Quotes
"As the author notes in chapter 5, 'compute is not just about shader, but rather about simulation.' This distinction makes all the difference."
"One powerful idea: 'technical subjects requires not just knowledge of programming, but mastery of compute.' The book shows exactly how to achieve this."
"One powerful idea: 'technical subjects requires not just knowledge of programming, but mastery of compute.' The book shows exactly how to achieve this."
"My key takeaway: 'simulation, when properly understood, renders programming almost trivial.' The proof is in the results."
"Highlighted on page 196: 'The shader principle transforms ordinary Programming into exceptional Programming.'"
