★★★★☆

Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 1: Primer offers a compelling take on programming, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Programming is excellent, I found the sections on compute less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about graphics that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing graphics more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for compute will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on graphics, if not the definitive work.
