Vulkan-Guide VS vulkan-guide

Vulkan directly supports many platforms, and also supports MacOS and IOS through porting tools.

You have access to atomics in vulkan

You might want to take a look at our Vulkan guide. The linked chapter has common terms for Vulkan, DirectX and Metal.

Vulkan has WSI, which is roughly equivalent to GLX or EGL in the OpenGL world.

Yes The gist is: you don't actually save any time trying to not-rerecord, and it limits your ability to do many basic real optimizations, like frustum culling. https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Guide/blob/master/chapters/common_pitfalls.md#recording-command-buffers

Looks like there is a lot more work before it can be used for anything more than dash entertainment system.. https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Guide/blob/master/chapters/what_vulkan_can_do.md#safety-critical

I totally agree, and so do the people working on it as well as some of the volunteers who write tutorials.

There's an ongoing effort to create beginner friendly introductory material which was discussed in the recent Vulkanised conference. And an effort to make a better documentation site that's easier to browse than the specification.

On the volunteer front, there's a Vulkan 1.3 -based introductory tutorial (work in progress) over at https://vkguide.dev/

I think there should be a Vulkan tutorial that doesn't start with the boring stuff of initialization and window creation. It's stuff that you write once and forget about, and nothing particularly interesting happens in it.

Looking at my hobby project, excluding the boring stuff (which is reusable), a "hello compute" example is around 100 LOC and a "hello triangle" around 120 LOC. GLSL shader sources included.

Maybe someday I'll get around to writing a "learn Vulkan the hard way" blog post with examples.

Also, use https://vkguide.dev/ rather than vulkan-tutorial.

Once you're beyond the "introductory" phase, resources become more specialized based on what you'd like to learn -- there are Vulkan tutorials like https://vkguide.dev/ which will teach you the API and also give a bit more insight in how modern GPU hardware is structured, there are books like the "GPU Zen" series that do deep-dives on specific techniques, and there are tons of recorded GDC and SIGGRAPH talks on interesting new techniques. :)

Personally, I'm a hands on learner who actually wants to use this stuff in my career, so I'd recommend these tutorials: https://learnopengl.com/ https://vulkan-tutorial.com/Overview https://vkguide.dev/

vkguide teaches some good practices regarding code/renderer structure, but I'm afraid it doesn't go as deep as you'd like. It's certainly deeper than most other tutorials, though.

https://vkguide.dev/ This is my favorite.
