Vulkan Graphics API in 20 Minutes (Coffee Break Series)

By Kenwright

This book introducing the reader (you) to the Vulkan cross platform 3D graphics API - including simple tutorials and samples. We address questions, such as, Do we need another graphics API? What is special about Vulkan? How is Vulkan different from DirectX and OpenGL? and How do we initialize and setup a basic Vulkan program in C++?

Curiosity Killed the Cat / The reading view

This is where the interesting questions begin.

There is a strong reading opportunity in the space between Books and Computers & Technology. “Vulkan Graphics API in 20 Minutes (Coffee Break Series)” brings those listed subjects onto the same shelf and gives your next question a place to start. Graphics and compute APIs reward a clear view of resources, execution, and dependencies. Keep one small rendering or compute goal in mind and draw the steps it needs before extending the example. Follow the most surprising question first. Sketch an explanation, imagine an alternative, and see what you would need to distinguish them. The best part of an interesting subject is often the next question it unlocks. Save it for the next time you want to follow the idea further.
