If you are interested in quickly learning about Vulkan validation layers and how they work in an application, this video walkthrough is for you. It gives a real world example with source code and diagram included.
PLEASE NOTE: In the source code, you may have to replace the directories listed on lines 444-445 with the full file path of where those files are on your system. To learn how to install and run Vulkan on a Windows machine, check out https://amzn.to/2vazKwn

Below is the code. Make sure to update the file path for the include (line 6 – 13) and update the file path for readfile (line 444 – 445).
