And here I was hoping this was going to be a worthwhile link to check....except i’ve already bought that one :p.

In all seriousness. It sounds like a cool book. Can’t wait til it arrives. Thanks for writing it!

It's a great book! Thank you for your effort and for making it accessible to people for free!!!

Edit: (If I wouldn't be so poor, I would donate to your cause as well.)

I saw that book but was confused on the way to use it. Are you supposed to follow along and turn the pseudo code into a real implementation? Or is meant to be Passively read while perhaps taking notes?
I guess that's up to you. Both work, although it's probably best if you follow along and implement the raytracer and the rasterizer as you go.
