Vulkan Compute: High-Performance Compute Programming with Vulkan and Compute Shaders (Paperback)
A crisp, motivating guide through programming, compute, shader, simulation. It stays engaging by mixing big-picture context with small, repeatable actions.
The book rewards re-reading. On pass two, the simulation connections become more explicit and surprisingly rigorous.
