Synopsis

WebAssembly is the performance enhancement technology that's kicking up your browser speed and revolutionising the way web applications are run. It's fast becoming the gold standard for modern web developers, making this book essential reading for programmers who want to stay relevant and improve their game. Readers will gain a deep understanding of what WebAssembly is, how it works under the hood, when to use it, and why it improves JavaScript run times. The book's crisp, clear prose, ample illustrations, and helpful examples easily deconstruct complex topics for programmers of all skill levels. It not only shows how to expertly optimise and compile low-level code via WebAssembly, it teaches you how to debug, evaluate, and represent your code in human-readable WebAssembly Text format - a skill set that will set users apart from their peers as WebAssembly expands into mobile and desktop apps, servers and other execution environments.
