This looks really great!

I'd also highly recommend Ray Tracing in One Weekend[1], which starts you out with literally just a c++ program to dump bytes into a file which can be opened with most standard image/document viewers. Then you don't have to think about or set up any shaders before you can start to experiment with the rendering algorithms.
