   Nice work, looks awesome! Curious whether you could use this to upload files directly to google cloud storage without having a server in the middle?

    WebAssembly is an awesome technology and I'm super excited about it, but IMHO it's probably best to assume you don't need it unless you can convince yourself otherwise. That said, here are a few examples of where it shines (w

    I have not received feedback that my book was too short. In my own experience, I've rarely ever completed a technical book--in fact, I've often wished they were shorter!

    Hi HN! This is an article about using WebAssembly to speed up a web application. As I mention in the article, WebAssembly isn't always the right tool for the job, but for our use case, it was a great fit because we were able to port an

    I don’t have an example that specifically uses cmake, though similar principles apply but you’d use the emcmake utility. That said, thanks for the feedback! I’ve added that to my list of things to add to the book.

    Thanks! Yes the book focuses on C/C++, but you don't need very much C/C++ knowledge to follow along in the book. Most of the time, we treat C/C++ libraries as black boxes that we compile to WASM, though in some cases lik

    Thanks! I like to self-publish mostly because I can craft the book in my own way and move faster. I also enjoy being able to touch all aspects of the book, including the design and marketing. This is actually my second self-published book (
