INSIDE THE BOOK

About this book

WebGL Compute explores how to repurpose WebGL’s graphics‑focused pipeline for high‑performance computation. By leveraging GLSL ES shaders, readers learn how to run massively parallel workloads directly on the GPU using nothing more than a web browser. The book walks through practical techniques, minimal examples, and creative strategies for performing non‑graphical tasks such as simulation, data processing, and algorithm acceleration. Ideal for developers, researchers, and enthusiasts who want to push WebGL beyond rendering and tap into the hidden compute power available on virtually every device.

Outstanding introduction

Genuinely excellent — I finished it in a week and immediately started again.

I picked this up after getting stuck on a project and it turned out to be exactly the right book at the right time. A few of the examples could be more realistic, but the underlying points come across clearly. The chapters on gpu computing are the strongest — the examples are stripped down but complete, and I could follow along without constant guessing. Worth the money and the reading time, without hesitation.

Outstanding introduction

Outstanding. I kept finding reasons to come back to it.

I read this over a couple of weekends alongside a small side project, which turned out to be the ideal way to approach it. The author clearly knows the subject deeply and has thought hard about how to teach it. I found myself making notes in the margins, which is always a good sign. An easy five stars from me. I look forward to whatever the author writes next.
