Vulkan & Rust using Ash binding tutorial for beginners 1

Vulkan & Rust using Ash binding tutorial for beginners 1
In this video, we have successfully created the simplest fully functional vulkan program from start to finish.

Am using:
- Language: Rust
- Libraries: ash, gpu_allocator, bytemuck, anyhow, image
- OS: Windows 11
- IDE: vscode

I'm a Vulkan beginner too, but my knowledge and videos are based on experience, research, trial, and error. I believe in teaching a subject while I am a beginner because a beginner won't skip details and will explain the subject in a more beginner-friendly way than a professional at the cost of potential loss of accuracy and rigor. the struggle of learning is still fresh on a beginner's mind. Finally am learning more by teaching and am learning better code and asking more questions because I know someone will read my code and watch my video : )
TLDR: A beginner understands beginners more than an expert and teaching is a good learning method.

The first Vulkan tutorial I could follow 😂I finally have a working Vulkan program in Rust!

[mochou_p]

i like the way you explain things!
will there ever be a continuation for this series?

[marcosdanieltorres]

Thank you very much for this tutorial, I really liked your in-depth way of teaching. It helped me a lot as I'm just getting started with Vulkan and this is the first tutorial I've followed. I've done a little of wgpu and I've noticed there's quite a bit of similarity between boths APIs.

When you went over the queues it got my attention because I'm using a AMD RX 6700 GT and I have at most a queueCount of 2.

Looking forward for part 2!

Just discovered this. This is great dude.

First time seeing a moroccan rustacean.. i thought its only me

[PetraleiTanyl]

Can you really assume the order of elements of a slice, wouldn't that be relying on undefined behavior? Can you really sight where in the vulcan specification it defines the first physical device as the best one?

[carver]

How is this tutorial different from another vulkan rust series which one i should start first???

[bifidoc]

this is an awesome video. will there be a continuation with swap chain and rendering into window?

[Houstonthrillofthefight]

Hi can you add text for the Cutscene plugin so like you can add a text at the bottom for every camera

[gaast]

why would't you just do "let physical_device = unsafe {..}?[0]" instead of
