For someone with C++ background and good knowledge about concurrent programming patterns, the book serves as a very good and quick resource to come up to speed with C++ Amp. The book introduces pretty much every aspect of AMP with loads of code examples. The book contains walk through code examples of increasing complexity to help the reader appreciate the possible extent of gains with AMP and showcase how to use various concurrent programming (micro-)patterns in AMP.

If you are interested in dabbling with GPU via AMP, then this would be an ideal book to start.

Good enough, at least due to fact it is only one book about AMP
