In this session you’ll learn about WebAssembly: what is it, what problems does it solve, how it works, where you can use it, and what makes it secure. That last point about security is an important one because that’s one area that gives many people pause when hearing the words ‘native code’ or that C++ can be used. Immediately, we have flash backs of plugins and pointers.

In this session you’ll learn how to create a WebAssembly module and how to interact with it. WebAssembly modules are not limited to the browser so you’ll also learn how to make use of it outside the browser.
