An Introduction to WebAssembly: CodeMash from Pluralsight

CodeMash 2020 | An Introduction to WebAssembly | Guy Royse

In this session, Guy Royse will introduce you to WebAssembly, explain how WebAssembly works, and how to use it. You'll gain an understanding of how it might fit into your application, and how to build your own WebAssembly modules. Guy will also demo how to build and use those modules with both Rust and the WebAssembly Text Format. After this talk, you'll have the footing you need to start building applications featuring WebAssembly. Grab a non-JavaScript language, a modern browser, and let's get started!
