Vulkan Compute: High-Performance Compute Programming with Vulkan and Compute Shaders (Paperback)
If you want practical clarity, this is a strong pick: programming, compute, shader, simulation presented in a way that turns into decisions, not just notes.
A friend asked what I learned and I could actually explain it—because the programming chapter is built for recall.
