Real Programming
summary
Argues that hand-optimized C, GLSL and occasional assembly beat heavy frameworks for imaging and real-time graphics, showing a compact 3000-line engine that renders 3D in real time and shader tricks that treat arbitrary data as textures. Demonstrates practical wins: stripped-down Nvidia encoder use via a single header, assembly or SIMD needed for 8K at 60fps, and signal work like an FFT in ~40 lines of C that ran real-time on a Pentium 90.
