Useful WebAssembly resources

WebAssembly is a technology at the intersection of web development and systems programming.

If you are a web developer that has not take systems programming or operating systems courses as part of a Computer Science program, Lin Clark's code cartoons, blogs, and videos can be very helpful in filling in some of the unfamiliar systems concepts that WebAssembly builds upon:

• A Cartoon Intro to WebAssembly
• A crash course in just-in-time (JIT) compilers
• A crash course in assembly
• Creating and working with WebAssembly modules
• What makes WebAssembly fast?
• Where is WebAssembly now and what’s next?
• A crash course in memory management
• A cartoon intro to ArrayBuffers and SharedArrayBuffers
• Avoiding race conditions in SharedArrayBuffers with Atomics
• Creating a WebAssembly module instance with JavaScript
• Memory in WebAssembly (and why it’s safer than you think)
• WebAssembly table imports… what are they?
• WebAssembly’s post-MVP future: A cartoon skill tree
• Standardizing WASI: A system interface to run WebAssembly outside the web
• WebAssembly Interface Types: Interoperate with All the Things!
