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.

I hate compiler/grammar/language theory

Lately I was forced to study some papers on compiler theory. You know: context-free, context-sensitive, boolean grammars etc. God! I forgot how much I despise all that. Even if I’m doing parsers from the first time I started programming, I can’t stand all the formalism of grammar theory. Creating compilers is actually something that I enjoy. I have to admit that I used to put config files and scripts where there was no need for it, but it was cool, you know.

I have to face it, I am an engineer…
