Book Description
A a thorough,practice-based introduction to WebAssembly. Learn how to create high-performing,lightning-fast websites and applications.
WebAssembly is the fast,compact,portable technology that optimizes the performance of resource-intensive web applications and programs. The Art of WebAssembly is designed to give web developers a solid understanding of how it works,when to use it (and when not to),and how to develop and deploy WebAssembly apps.
First you’ll learn how to optimize and compile low-level code,debug and evaluate WebAssembly,and represent WebAssembly in the human-readable WebAssembly Text (WAT) format. Once you have the basics down,you’ll build a browser-based collision detection program,work with browser rendering technologies to create graphics and animations,and see how WebAssembly interacts with other web languages.
You’ll also learn how to:
Embed WebAssembly applications in web browsers and Node.js
Use browser debuggers to evaluate your WebAssembly code
Format variables,loops,functions,strings,data structures,and conditional logic in WAT
Manipulate memory
Build a program that generates graphical objects and detects when they collide
Evaluate the output of a WebAssembly compiler
The Art of WebAssembly will help you make sense of this powerful technology to boost the performance of your web applications.
