Foundations of Graphics & Compute - Volume 2: Rendering

By Kenwright

Rendering is at the heart of modern computer graphics, driving everything from immersive video games and visual effects to simulations and virtual environments. As technology advances, the demand for high-performance graphics continues to grow, and with it, the tools available to developers. This book is a hands-on guide to mastering rendering using WebGPU and WGSL, two cutting-edge technologies poised to shape the future of web-based graphics.

Do The Maths / The reading view

A fresh angle on a powerful subject.

There is a strong reading opportunity in the space between JavaScript and Books. “Foundations of Graphics & Compute - Volume 2: Rendering” brings those listed subjects onto the same shelf and gives your next question a place to start. JavaScript gives an idea a place to become interactive. Choose a small behaviour you want to build, keep the inputs and outputs visible, and use that goal to connect explanation with practice. Bring a pencil, a small example, and the willingness to ask why a relationship works. Moving between symbols and visible behaviour can turn an abstract topic into something you want to investigate further. Save it for the next time you want to follow the idea further.
