WebGPU Shader Language Development: Vertex, Fragment, Compute Shaders for Programmers
If you want practical clarity, this is a strong pick: webgpu, programming, graphics, compute presented in a way that turns into decisions, not just notes.
I read one section during a coffee break and ended up rewriting my plan for the week. The shader part hit that hard. (Side note: if you like WebGPU Compute, you’ll likely enjoy this too.)

It pairs nicely with what’s trending around infinite—you finish a chapter and think: “okay, I can do something with this.”

A friend asked what I learned and I could actually explain it—because the programming chapter is built for recall.

Not perfect, but very useful. The infinite angle kept it grounded in current problems.

From a structural standpoint, the text creates a coherent ladder: definitions → examples → constraints → application. That’s why the webgpu arguments land.
