Vulkan graphics programming in Java

This online book will introduce the main concepts required to write graphics games or any other applications using Vulkan in Java.

We will use LWJGL as the Java library which provides the required bindings to use Vulkan and any other required APIs. This book is the result of my self learning language, that I think it may help the community.

[!NOTE] This is a new version which tries to use modern Vulkan features, such us:

• Dynamic rendering
• BDA
• Ray tracing
• New Vulkan functions (1.3)
• ...

Therefore, Vulkan 1.3 is required. If you want to access previous version, just go the legacy branch.
