Web Assembly Interaction with JavaScript
by Jon Flanders
WebAssembly can be a useful tool in your development toolbox. This
course will teach you the specific steps you need to use in order to be able
to use WebAssembly to port existing code to be used on both the web and
on the server.
What you'll learn
In this course, WebAssembly Interaction with JavaScript, you will learn
how to use JavaScript to integrate with WebAssembly modules that can
provide performance and functionality not normally achievable with just
JavaScript.
First, you will explore how to
load a WebAssembly module into your browser-based application. Next, you will discover how to interact with
that module using the WebAssembly JavaScript API to pass both data and functions bi-directionally between your JavaScript module and WebAssembly modules. Finally, you will learn how to make your own WebAssembly module to complete your WebAssembly journey. When you have completed this course you will have the skills needed to use WebAssembly to implement
performant solutions for complex problems.

from the world of ASP and COM to the world of .NE... moreT, ASP.NET, and Web Services, and
now into the world of mobile devices. During this part of Jon’s career he wrote
RESTFul.NET for O’Reilly, Essential ASPfor Addison-Wesley, and co-authored Mastering
Visual Studio.NETfor O’Reilly.
Since 2011, Jon has been concentrating on the mobile world. Working mainly in iOS, Jon
has helped numerous companies create and transform mobile teams into teams that can
create, build, test, and deploy mobile applications with ease.
Augmented Reality is another one of Jon’s current passions, along with Beacons and IoT.
Jon is excited for the next phase of mobile development and exploring how technology can
not only entertain us, but help create a connected world where smart devices start to
perform tasks that are difficult and time-consuming.
