“Any professional programmer in the field will find something of interest in this volume. I’m thrilled to see that this collection is in color-it’s about time! A wide range of topics are covered, from global illumination to image processing to mobile devices. I particularly like the fact that the book doesn’t go the scholarly researcher route; the articles are written in a straightforward way to help with implementation of the idea, and code is often provided.”
