If you care about conceptual clarity and transfer, the third tie-ins are useful prompts for further reading. (Side note: if you like Vulkan API - Owners' Workshop Manual (2nd Edition) - Computer Programming (Beginners Onwards): Everything You Need To Get Started With The Vulkan API (Paperback), you’ll likely enjoy this too.)
