Suggested books

If you are serious about nextgen shader programming, you should have this book next to your pillow! This third volume of the best-selling GPU Gems series provides a snapshot of today’s latest Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) programming techniques. The programmability of modern GPUs allows developers to not only distinguish themselves from one another but also to use this awesome processing power for non-graphics applications, such as physics simulation, financial analysis, and even virus detection—particularly with the CUDA architecture. Graphics remains the leading application for GPUs, and readers will find that the latest algorithms create ultra-realistic characters, better lighting, and post-rendering compositing effects

A complete guide to learning OpenGL. It covers all OpenGL functionality and goes further to GLUT. In the latest edition the book also covers the OpenGL Shading Language.

Statistics

This blog is alive for something more that a month now. So I thought is was a good time to run some statistics on the webserver logs -yes, I’m a statistics junkie-. I must say I was impressed by the amount of traffic, as we are talking about an infant blog. Anyway let see some stats :

In this period of time 17 posts were posted along with 24 comments
The blog received 2500 users with more than 8000 page hits
The most read post was Multithreaded Game Scripting with Stackless Python, which was also the most commented one.
The article mostly reached from search engines was RQ decomposition.
The top web browser was… (drums) FireFox! Second comes IE6 with half the hits! It is clear that the orientation of this blog attracts more open source people.

I also have some statistics on the adsense but I’m not going to comment on that one, since I don’t know if I’m allowed to.

In general I must say I’m quite happy with the positive people’s response to the blog. I can’t hide that…
