Source code examples accompanying Intel's 'API without Secrets: Introduction to Vulkan' tutorial series by Pawel Lapinski. It provides step-by-step C++ lessons covering Vulkan fundamentals from instance creation through rendering a triangle with vertex attributes and staging resources.

Use cases

• learn vulkan from scratch with c++ examples
• understand how to create a vulkan instance and logical device
• render first triangle with vulkan graphics pipeline
• set up swap chain to display vulkan images in a window
• learn vertex buffers and memory management in vulkan
• convert glsl shaders to spir-v and use shader modules

When to choose

• you want a gentle, example-driven introduction to the vulkan api
• you prefer learning by reading and running small incremental c++ samples
• you need a reference for basic vulkan setup like swap chains, render passes, and fences

When to avoid

• you need an actively maintained library or up-to-date vulkan samples
• you want a production-ready engine or framework rather than tutorial code
• you need advanced vulkan topics beyond the basics covered in the tutorial series
