Conclusion and Recap

Throughout this course, we deep dived into the world of WebAssembly (wasm) and examined its benefits and real-world applications.

We began by understanding the basics of WebAssembly, its importance, and the problems it solves in the world of web development. We explored how WebAssembly provides a way to run code written in multiple languages on the web at near-native speed, with a focus on compactness, efficiency, and modularity.

In the subsequent sections, we introduced C++ and its compilation to wasm modules. We learned how to compile C++ code into WebAssembly modules using tools like Emscripten and LLVM.

Digging deeper, we got a handle on core WebAssembly concepts such as memory, stack, and linear memory. This knowledge prepared us for the practical aspects of working with wasm.

We learned how to create simple wasm modules using C++, compile them, and call the WebAssembly functions from JavaScript. This made us realize the utility of using WebAssembly in web applications, especially for compute-intensive tasks.

Finally, we delved into debugging wasm modules, understanding how to inspect and step through the wasm code using browser dev tools. In the end, we built a simple web application incorporating all our learnings.

Hope you find this course helpful in enhancing your web development skills and look forward to seeing you use the WebAssembly to supercharge your applications. Keep coding and exploring!
