An online book that was once in print but was put up online only because the authors didn't like the quality of the printers work. Online book Physically Based Rendering

I would probably include the links summarized/organized as such:

Basic raytracing: https://github.com/petershirley/raytracinginoneweekend
More in-depth lighting and shading through writing a path tracer: http://www.pbr-book.org/
Other great resources on computer graphics: http://www.realtimerendering.com/#books-small-table
Examples of Vulkan being put into practice to make an engine:
- https://github.com/Novum/vkQuake

What do you think?
