Best book on shaders out there for beginners (and possibly intermediate shader programmers) hands down. This is a good book if you are a beginner at shaders and you need to know how to get the vertex and fragment shaders working together. You need to understand their inner workings, and this book will help you with that. Shader information is hard to understand, but this book makes the information digestable, and gives you a ton of practice using shaders. After reading the theory in this book, and doing the practice throughout the chapters and the exercises at the end of each chapter, you will at the very least feel comfortable using shaders in your applications and be able to increase your use and knowledge of shaders with ease.
A couple things will be handy if you want to maximize your success with this book. You should know the following,
- linear algebra (dot product, matrix concatenation, cross product, etc.)
- how to get a window that's opengl compatible ( for example with Android, extend the GLSurfaceView and implement the Renderer)
This book doesn't give you a linear algebra overview, it is raw shader theory and shader practice, just like the title says.
