Key benefits

  • Understand the Rust programming language and WebAssembly concepts for web development
  • Build web, mobile, and embedded apps using WebAssembly
  • Enhance the scalability and resilience of your web apps

Description

Rust is an open source language tuned toward safety, concurrency, and performance. WebAssembly brings all the capabilities of the native world into the JavaScript world. Together, Rust and WebAssembly provide a way to create robust and performant web applications. They help make your web applications blazingly fast and have small binaries. Developers working with JavaScript will be able to put their knowledge to work with this practical guide to developing faster and maintainable code. Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, examples, and self-assessment questions, you’ll begin by exploring WebAssembly, using the various tools provided by the ecosystem, and understanding how to use WebAssembly and JavaScript together to build a high-performing application. You’ll then learn binary code to work with a variety of tools that help you to convert native code into WebAssembly. The book will introduce you to the world of Rust and the ecosystem that makes it easy to build/ship WebAssembly-based applications. By the end of this WebAssembly Rust book, you’ll be able to create and ship your own WebAssembly applications using Rust and JavaScript, understand how to debug, and use the right tools to optimize and deliver high-performing applications.

Who is this book for?

This book is for JavaScript developers who want to deliver better performance and ship type-safe code. Rust developers or backend engineers looking to build full-stack applications without worrying too much about JavaScript programming will also find the book useful.

What you will learn

  • Explore WebAssembly and the different tools available in the WebAssembly ecosystem
  • Understand the raw WebAssembly binary and the WebAssembly text format
  • Use the Web and JavaScript API with wasm-bindgen
  • Optimize Rust and WebAssembly for high performance
  • Run and debug WebAssembly and Rust code
  • Explore various tools available in the RustWASM ecosystem

As a programmer and developer who uses JavaScript, this book interests me because of its usefulness to help optimize and get better performance out of JavaScript. I have always wanted to explore WebAssembly but did not because I thought it was overly complex. I like that this book is well written and has code examples to follow. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to write better, more performant code.

I greatly enjoyed this book - it's a very healthy summary of the mechanics of WebAssembly and the processes and code that make running native code in browsers possible. I had worked through and built WebAssembly's Game of Life tutorial for Rust online using wasm-pack, and had lots of fun doing so, working with the wasm-pack bundler.But this book takes the reader on a sequential, iterative journey through the fundamental layers and steps necessary to generate WASM modules and then talk to them in web browsers from JavaScript (and vice versa). It's a good discussion if you want to learn how things work under the hood and get some very helpful programming examples with useful patterns, too, that you can use in your own projects.Compilation, bundling, project structure, dependencies, optimization and distribution are adequately covered. It's a great read!

Sendil does a great job explaining the ins and out of WebAssembly, how it relates to the JavaScript you already know and how to generate WASM from other languages, such as C, C++ and rust (without presuming that you know any of these).What I appreciated most about the book, was its logical progression, where Sendil first takes you through some background (but not too much) and then lets you get your hands dirty with code examples. And they work (mostly; some minor Mac-to-Windows translation is needed, unless you're using WSL)!Great book! Well worth my time!

I haven't finished reading it yet (it's a relatively short book but I'm swapped with work). From what I've read so far though I would recommend the book (especially if you're a Rust programmer / developer). It's written in a way which I think anyone can understand if they have the desire to learn. The title (Practical Web Assembly) is VERY accurate! I'll try to leave an update after I finish reading the rest of the book.

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
