For advanced gpu programmers

This is a great book if you are looking for advanced gpu programming. It's only shortcoming is it is light on actual code examples and the maths can be a little daunting. More complete code examples would make this book perfect.

Die ShaderX-Serie behandelt kleine Fachbereiche in der Computergrafik. Hierbei handelt es sich häufig um angewandte Techniken für aktuelle Spiele Titel.

Diese Serie ist nicht für den Einstieg in das Thema geeignet und man sollte ein grundlegendes bis tiefgehendes mathematisches Verständnis (je nach Artikel) mitbringen.

Also wenn "normale" Fachbücher Ihnen nichts neues mehr beibringen, dann kann man hier ruhigen Gewissens zugreifen.
