• Understand Wasm, its ecosystem and its future // theory
• Try it today // practice

And this, in a time-efficient way.

🚧 This is WIP, publication to come (GitBook + blogpost series).

DNA

Wasm-nano-handbook strives to be:

📦Nano: as nano as possible for such a wide topic :) The content is split up in small modular chunks, categorized as core or asides. Estimated reading time for the entire core content should remain < 2 hours.

🔋Batteries included: the basics are covered, but more advanced notions are also available as asides.

🧘‍Accessible: devs with little knowledge about browser internals and lower-level languages should be able to read through.

⚖️Unbiased: multiple sources are used - official documentation, Google dev, Mozilla, independent developers, w3c.

🌱Evolutive: this is just the start!

Extra

The _ideas file lists talk / blogposts / tools / demo project ideas about Wasm.
