Introduction to D3D12 Programming

DirectX 12 (hereinafter referred to as D3D12) is a next-generation graphics API for Microsoft Windows. It was released with numerous changes, promising improved performance. While this API boasted high performance, it initially raised many questions about whether it truly achieved this. Nevertheless, it has steadily encroached upon the graphics API market and has now firmly established itself as a mainstream API.
D3D12 is technically very difficult, and due to the trend of using commercial engines, there are few programmers who have direct experience using it.
This course provides prerequisite knowledge that can help programmers with D3D9/10/11 or OpenGL experience begin D3D12 programming.

In particular, it explains topics that may feel unfamiliar when first encountering D3D12, such as resource barrier, Descriptor Table, and Root Signature.
