Built for backend/systems Rust developers who know Rust thoroughly but have zero graphics programming experience. Every sentence teaches GPU concepts — not Rust syntax.

Required Reading Order

The Graphics Pipeline — GPU vs CPU, the 5-stage pipeline
Coordinate Systems — NDC, homogeneous coordinates, viewport
Shader Basics — WGSL, vertex/fragment shaders, interpolation
Build a Rainbow Triangle — The complete step-by-step guide
Troubleshooting — Common errors and fixes (reference as needed)
Glossary — Every term defined (reference as needed)

Reading order matters: Coordinate systems must be understood before shader basics, because the shader walkthrough references NDC coordinates.

Guides

01 — Rainbow Triangle — The minimal complete program: one triangle, smooth color interpolation
More guides coming soon (textures, lighting, compute)

Prerequisites

Rust stable (edition 2024)
Linux x86_64 with Vulkan drivers (libvulkan1)
