WEB ASSEMBLY DEVELOPMENT : Complete Guide | Create 50 High-Performance Web Apps | Including C++ Integration

In "WebAssembly Development: Complete Guide Create 50 High-Performance Web Apps Including C++ Integration," author Don Candor delivers a transformative roadmap to mastering WebAssembly (WASM)—the groundbreaking technology that's revolutionizing how we build fast, efficient, and scalable web applications. Imagine running complex, computationally intensive code directly in the browser at speeds rivaling native apps, without the limitations of traditional JavaScript. This comprehensive guide empowers you to do just that, bridging the gap between high-level languages like C++, Rust, and Go, and the web ecosystem.
Whether you're a web developer frustrated by performance bottlenecks, a software engineer porting legacy C++ codebases, a game developer crafting immersive browser experiences, or a data scientist handling real-time analytics, this book is your ultimate resource. Starting from the foundations, you'll explore WebAssembly's architecture, setup your development environment, and dive into core concepts like linear memory management and SIMD optimization. With a special emphasis on advanced C++ integration using tools like Emscripten, you'll learn to compile and optimize C++ code for seamless JavaScript interoperability, unlocking possibilities in gaming, multimedia editing, scientific simulations, and more.
What sets this book apart is its hands-on approach: 50 meticulously designed projects that guide you from beginner-friendly utilities (like a real-time calculator or image processor) to intermediate and advanced applications (such as a 2D game engine, financial dashboard, neural network visualizer, and even an e-commerce platform). These projects reinforce key skills in performance tuning, security, scalability, and deployment to platforms like AWS, Azure, and Vercel. Plus, delve into emerging applications in serverless computing, IoT, blockchain, and decentralized apps, while appendices provide essential tools, C++ references, and a glossary for quick reference.
By the end, you'll not only understand WebAssembly's portability, security sandbox, and compact binary format but also gain the confidence to build production-ready apps that deliver instantaneous user experiences. Perfect for intermediate to advanced developers with a foundation in JavaScript or C++, this 2025 first edition equips you to innovate without constraints—whether optimizing for mobile, desktop, or server-side environments.
