Excellent introductory tutorial to GPU Programming and the Metal Shading Language A few months ago I was asking in this sub about introductory tutorials to Metal (so I can start getting my head around it in the most basic way). I didn't find any tutorials that were very basic that would help me understand how Metal works at its core. All suggestions and other tutorials I found online were over my head. Well, I just found this tutorial and I wanted to share it with the community for anyone wanting to get a basic understanding of Metal. [video Enjoy. :)

I still don’t have that much experience with it, so I got most of my help from ChatGPT with Metal, but a video that I found quite helpful was this
