<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This book is a clear and step-by-step approach to WebAssembly. Rick Battagline is introducing all concepts from the very beginning, with illustrations and examples, so that you can learn progressively--even without any prior knowledge in low level programming. It's a pleasure to read and learn as you go through the chapters. It will be useful for either trying WebAssembly in your app or to get a good understanding before using languages compiling to WebAssembly."--Publisher's description.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A a thorough, practice-based introduction to WebAssembly. Learn how to create high-performing, lightning-fast websites and applications. </b> <p/>WebAssembly is the fast, compact, portable technology that optimizes the performance of resource-intensive web applications and programs. <i>The Art of WebAssembly</i> 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. <p/>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. <p/>You'll also learn how to: <br> <b>-</b> Embed WebAssembly applications in web browsers and Node.js<br> <b>-</b> Use browser debuggers to evaluate your WebAssembly code<br> <b>-</b> Format variables, loops, functions, strings, data structures, and conditional logic in WAT<br> <b>-</b> Manipulate memory<br> <b>-</b> Build a program that generates graphical objects and detects when they collide<br> <b>-</b> Evaluate the output of a WebAssembly compiler <p/><i>The Art of WebAssembly</i> will help you make sense of this powerful technology to boost the performance of your web applications.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This book is a clear and step-by-step approach to WebAssembly.
