WebAssembly in Action : With Examples Using C++ and Emscripten

WebAssembly in Action introduces the WebAssembly stack and walks you through the process of writing and running browser-based applications. Expert developer Gerard Gallant gives you a firm foundation of the structure of a module, HTML basics, JavaScript Promises, and the WebAssembly JavaScript API. About the Technology Write high-performance browser-based applications without relying only on JavaScript! By compiling to the WebAssembly binary format, your C, C++, or Rust code runs at near-native speed in the browser. WebAssembly delivers greater speed, opportunities to reuse existing code, and access to newer and faster libraries. Plus, you can easily interact with JavaScript when you need to. About the Book WebAssembly in Action teaches you how to write and run high-performance browser-based applications using C++ and other languages supported by WebAssembly. In it, you'll learn to create native WebAssembly modules, interact with JavaScript components, and maximize performance with web workers and pthreads. And you'll love how the clearly organized sections make it a breeze to find the important details about every function, feature, and technique. What's inside • Dynamic linking of multiple modules at runtime • Communicating between modules and JavaScript • Debugging with WebAssembly Text Format • Threading with web workers and pthreads About the Reader Written for developers with a basic understanding of C/C++, JavaScript, and HTML. About the Author Gerard Gallant is a Microsoft Certified Professional and a Senior Software Developer at Dovico Software. He blogs regularly on Blogger.com and DZone.com.

"Atwood's Law" is driven by the idea that all applications will ultimately wind up on the web and therefore must be written in JavaScript. WebAssembly may be your way out! With WebAssembly, you can write in nearly any modern language and run your code in the browser through a memory-safe, sandboxed execution environment that can be embedded in a web browser and other platforms. Getting set up and moving with WebAssembly requires you to modify your web dev process; WebAssembly in Action will get you started quickly and guide you through real-world examples and detailed diagrams that help you create, run, and debug WebAssembly modules. Key features * The WebAssembly format * Dynamic linking of multiple modules at runtime * Communicating between modules and JavaScript * Debugging modules * Unreleased features like host bindings and garbage collection Audience Written for developers with a basic understanding of C/C++, JavaScript, and HTML. About the technology WebAssembly compiles code written in C, C++, Rust, and other highlevel languages into an ultra-compact bytecode files that run in the browser and other environments at near-native speeds. Besides vastly improved performance, opportunities to reuse existing code, and the freedom to build in your favorite language, this game-changer allows access to newer and faster libraries.

Создавайте высокопроизводительные браузерные приложения, не полагаясь на один только JavaScript! Компилируясь в бинарный формат WebAssembly, ваш код на C, C++или Rust будет работать в браузере с оптимальной скоростью. WebAssembly обеспечивает большую скорость, возможности повторного использования существующего кода и доступ к новым и более быстрым библиотекам. Кроме того, при необходимости вы можете настроить взаимодействие с JavaScript
