Learing WebAssembly started by avidal

Description

Posted by avidal in category: Initial Ideas
What is the course all about. What is the broad topic, what are the main aspects to be covered?
Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, and a few other people have been secretly toiling away in a new W3C WebAssembly Community Group, and what they have been working on is no small thing.

    Target Group

    Posted by avidal in category: Initial Ideas
    Briefly describe the characteristics, requirements and preferences of the target group

    Efficient and fast

    *Efficient and fast
    The wasm stack machine is designed to be encoded in a size- and load-time-efficient binary format. WebAssembly aims to execute at native speed by taking advantage of common hardware capabilities available on a wide range of platforms.
     

    Open and debuggable

    *Open and debuggable
    WebAssembly is designed to be pretty-printed in a textual format for debugging, testing, experimenting, optimizing, learning, teaching, and writing programs by hand. The textual format will be used when viewing the source of wasm modules on the web
     

    Safe

    *Safe
    WebAssembly describes a memory-safe, sandboxed execution environment that may even be implemented inside existing JavaScript virtual machines. When embedded in the web, WebAssembly will enforce the same-origin and permissions security policies of the browser.
     

    Part of the open web platform

    *Part of the open web platform
    WebAssembly is designed to maintain the versionless, feature-tested, and backwards-compatible nature of the web. WebAssembly modules will be able to call into and out of the JavaScript context and access browser functionality through the same Web APIs accessible from JavaScript. WebAssembly also supports non-webembeddings.
