I didn’t expect Vulkan Graphics API in 20 Minutes (Coffee Break Series) to be this approachable. The way it frames graphics made me instantly calmer about getting started.

Okay, wow. This is one of those books that makes you want to do things. The vulkan framing is chef’s kiss.

This is the rare book where I highlight a lot, but I also use the highlights. The vulkan sections feel super practical.
