Computer Graphics from Scratch
A long time ago, due to an improbable sequence of events, I found myself teaching Computer Graphics at my alma mater, a year after I took the class myself. Over the following five years or so, my approach to the subject evolved, and I really got the hang of it.
After I stopped teaching, I took my notes, handouts and slides, and made them into a series of articles that I put on my website, where they remained in relative obscurity. Hacker News managed to find it every once in a while, and it was generally well received, but nothing came out of this. Until April 2019. It made the HN front page again [0], except this time it caught the attention of an editor in No Starch Press [1].<p>Long story short, today I’m incredibly grateful and excited to tell you that CGFS is coming out as a real book, with pages and all [2]. The folks at NSP graciously agreed to let me publish the updated contents, the product of almost two years of hard editing and proofreading work, for free on my website [3]. But if you’d like to preorder the printed or ebook version, you can use the coupon code MAKE3DMAGIC to get a 35% discount at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nostarch.com&#x2F;computer-graphics-scratch" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nostarch.com&#x2F;computer-graphics-scratch</a>.<p>I’m still somewhat in disbelief that my work is getting published as a book, and this genuinely wouldn’t have happened without your support. So once again, THANK YOU :)<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=19584921" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=19584921</a><p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;nostarch.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;nostarch.com</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nostarch.com&#x2F;computer-graphics-scratch" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nostarch.com&#x2F;computer-graphics-scratch</a><p>[3] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gabrielgambetta.com&#x2F;computer-graphics-from-scratch" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gabrielgambetta.com&#x2F;computer-graphics-from-scratch</a>
