Course Overview

WebAssembly, also known as WASM, is a binary instruction format that provides multiple programming languages (C/C++, Ruby, Java, etc.) with a compilation target for smooth web processing. In this course, we’ll learn how to convert native code of different languages into WebAssembly and optimize it for better performance. This intermediate-level course provides basic information on compilation techniques and VM infrastructure. It discusses converting C/C++ code into WebAssembly and loading the binary in a N...Show More
