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.jsUse browser debuggers to evaluate your WebAssembly codeFormat variables, loops, functions, strings, data structures, and conditional logic in WATManipulate memoryBuild a program that generates graphical objects and detects when they collideEvaluate the output of a WebAssembly compilerThe Art of WebAssembly will help you make sense of this powerful technology to boost the performance of your web applications.
The book is excellent regarding its contents. It-s very well written and treats its subjects in a clear manner, which is remarkabe considering WebAssembly's inner worikings have very rough corners.Having said that, I have to point out a matter that in my opinion ruins a lot the legibility of the book. I'm talking about the fact that the code sections, specially the lengthy ones are presented in a way that renders them nearly useless, mainly because of lines being cut and mixed. After buying the book, I got elsewhere an epub copy, and the aforementioned problem does not exist. So, I think this is something that had to do with format convertions and I believe Amazon should take this on account and fix it.
