I absolutely loved DirectX+HLSL/Graphics/Compute All-in-One! It completely changed my perspective on DirectX. At first I wasn't sure about DirectX 12, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Computer Graphics is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Software Development. What I appreciated most was how the book made Computer Graphics feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
