Modern Software : Porting Apps to WebAssembly
Wednesday, 7:00 PM EST
WebAssembly demonstrations are invariably eye-popping and world-shaking. An amazing array of functionality has already been ported to this new ubiquitous runtime environment, but it isn't always clear how to go about it.
There is a difference between code portability and application portability. We will cover both aspects of what WebAssembly does for us in both of these situations.
In this talk we will look at the process of porting libraries and applications to WebAssembly.
Topics will include:
- Porting existing libraries and applications via the Emscripten and LLVM toolchains
- Integrating Rust libraries with Web applications
- Strategies for using WebAssembly in existing Web applications
- Integrating Web APIs with other languages
