My Server-Side WebAssembly book is now fully released!

95 points chiarl 20 comments

Getting into Wasm is hard. Resources are scattered, the tech is complex, and it's constantly changing. About a year ago, I shared here that I was writing a book to help with that. It's now fully out.

The book is split into two parts. Part 1 is for architects and covers lower-level Wasm, including building your own runtime host embedding and running Wasm inside a database as user-defined functions. Part 2 is for developers and shows how to use Wasm today with familiar tools in the cloud-native ecosystem and Kubernetes.

You also apply what you learn to a running project (a smart content management system) at the end of every chapter.

Thanks to everyone who grabbed the early access version and gave feedback!
