Suggestions in osg-users ML/forum post from Paweł Księżopolski

Vulkan specification is the most comprehensive source of knowledge about the API - it’s long but it is a must for any developer taking it seriously :

• Vulkan Specification

As for the books I recommend “Vulkan Programming Guide” written by Graham Sellers. Sometime ago it was even available for free in certain countries on Google Play bookstore :

• Vulkan Programming Guide

Active forums discussing Vulkan include Khronos forums :

• Khronos Vulkan Discussion Forum

and Vulkan subreddit :

• Vulkan Reddit

Sascha Willems wrote a good set of Vulkan demos, that show how to implement certain features :

• Vulkan Demos
• Sascha Willems website
• JHerico’s Vukan examples
• gliterop example

Vulkan Compute examples:

• vulkan_minimal_compute

There’s also a curated list of useful links to everything associated with Vulkan :
