Dive into a comprehensive lecture series on Vulkan, covering essential topics for graphics programming. Begin with the fundamentals of Vulkan development, then explore swap chain setup and presentation modes. Learn to utilize buffers and images in Vulkan shaders, submit work to devices and GPUs, and understand the intricacies of graphics, compute, and ray tracing pipelines. Delve into real-time ray tracing techniques, and master Vulkan synchronization concepts including fences, semaphores, and barriers. Through seven in-depth episodes, gain a solid foundation in Vulkan programming and advanced rendering techniques.
