These are my notes on how Vulkan works (see vulkan_notes.md).
They're written kind of like a long article and I might tighten
them up into a proper tutorial or something eventually. Mostly
they are distilled from the Vulkan spec
itself. The information
I've gathered here is more-or-less focused on what would be
relevant for someone making a 3D game engine, because that's what
I'm doing over at the Crypt Underworld
repo.
The notes are written in
Markdown. There
is a little Bash script start here you can use that will watch
the Markdown file for changes and convert it to HTML and
concatenate it with a header and footer when it notices any. It
will also open the finished web page in Firefox, and launch
gVim to edit the notes with. This is
obviously kind of specific to my environment but it might be
useful to you too if you have the various programs installed (in
addition to Firefox and gVim you should have the markdown CLI,
inotify-wait from
inotify-tools,
and Ruby available on your
PATH—check your distro's packages). start depends on the
script do_on_save which I have in my personal bindir but I have
included here for your convenience.
The notes themselves (vulkan_notes.md) are made available under

COPYING.md for details. There are a few things here made by
other people and the licenses and authorship information for
those things accompany them in the same directory where
applicable.
