A friend asked what I learned and I could actually explain it—because the webgpu chapter is built for recall.
Reviewer avatar
Not perfect, but very useful. The september angle kept it grounded in current problems.
Reviewer avatar
The book rewards re-reading. On pass two, the simulation connections become more explicit and surprisingly rigorous.
