What are the best textbooks/resources for learning graphics programming practically in 2023?
I’m getting started too in graphics programming (web developer here) and I’ve started with the Raytracing in One Week-end, I find it to be great (I use ChatGPT along the tutorial to exchange and ask questions when I struggle). Other than that I also bought the OpenGL bible book and the book Computer Graphics from Scratch that you can both find on Amazon, they’re really great.

Beginner Graphic Programming Projects for C++
Computer Graphics From Scratch is my favorite introduction to the subject. It assumes less about the reader than something like the "In A Weekend" series.
- Getting Started With GFX Programming in C in 2022
- I am looking for resources where I can learn the theoretic part of a raytracer, so I can implement it myself.

Ask HN: What HN post made you money?
This one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19584921 And wasn't even my post!
A long time ago I found myself teaching Computer Graphics at my alma mater. Over the following years my approach to the subject evolved, and I really got the hang of it. After I stopped teaching, I took my notes, handouts and slides, and made them into a series of articles that I put on my website, where they remained in relative obscurity. Hacker News managed to find it every once in a while, and it was generally well received, but nothing came out of this. Until April 2019, when that post made the HN front page again, except this time it caught the attention of an editor in No Starch Press.
Long story short, my materials are now a book, Computer Graphics from Scratch, sold by No Starch Press [0], and also available for free on my website [1].
This genuinely wouldn’t have happened without your support. THANK YOU, HN community :)

What are the best textbooks/resources for learning graphics programming practically in 2023?
Tiny raytracer and the related tiny series are pretty good implementations of certain popular rendering techniques, without the use of an API.

Dissecting the Apple M1 GPU, Part III
An excellent starting point for anyone interested in low-level graphics programming is Sokolov’s tinyraytracer [0]. It’s also a great way to learn a new language (work through the code while porting it to $DIFFERENT_LANGUAGE).
