I just bought this book thinking it would be good. It's not. It jumps all over the place you have to sort of piece together what's going on.

- mandarax8 4y agoThat's a shame, this book seemed like exactly what I was looking for.
- omnicognate 4y agoYeah, if anyone knows of a good, coherent, well written Vulkan book that properly explains things instead of just enumerating API specifics (or if this is that book), I'm keen to hear of it.
- OnionBlender 4y agoHave you seen "https://vkguide.dev/ https://vkguide.dev/"? I like it a lot more than "https://vulkan-tutorial.com/ https://vulkan-tutorial.com/". I completed the 5 chapters and recently started the "GPU Driven Rendering" section after chapter 5. I've found vkguide.dev far more interesting than the book mentioned in the article, at least for my graphics experience level.
- vblanco 4y agoVkguide deals with the basics, starting from scratch. The book above can be a great read after one completes vkguide, as it shows how to implement some advanced features. I helped review the book and think they should have been more clear that its a book for the people who already know graphics to a high level and want a refresher/info on some new state of the art techniques.
- nightfly 4y agoAfter some talking with Packt, we agreed on a 9 months writing time: a tight schedule, but we felt we could make it working together with Marco. We succedeed, albeit not to the level we wanted, but it was a huge learning experience for both of us (I am pretty sure is the same for Marco). Sounds about right
- Double_a_92 4y agoClassic packt... How did this blatant spam post even get to the front page?
- azangru 4y agoVulkan, I suppose.
