Book description
While it may be hard to believe, WebAssembly is the very first new and universally supported language and browser runtime since the introduction of JavaScript 25 years ago. And just like its predecessor, this young technology holds a lot of promise.
Colin Eberhardt shares everything you need to get started with WebAssembly--including history and context, an introduction to modules, execution, runtime, and practical instructions for using it. He'll also take a look at what the future might hold, from serving as a runtime for blockchain (or standing on its own in that right) to serverless computing uses and much more.
- Delve into the beginnings of JavaScript and discover how WebAssembly differs
- Learn why WebAssembly matters and how to use it
- Find out how others have successfully applied this technology
- Explore WebAssembly in practice, including computer aided design, PDF rendering, 3D visualization, and more
- See what's ahead in terms of features and uses beyond the browser
