This intro to WebAssembly course will teach you how to use WebAssembly to develop high-performance applications with near-native performance. You’ll even learn Rust programming language fundamentals and build an image processing project that you can add to your portfolio and see the power of WASM using Rust.
You might be thinking... what does Rust have to do with WebAssembly? Well using Rust with WebAssembly is the most common and recommended way to use WebAssembly. And like all of our courses, we only teach you what matters.
The main goal of this course is to help JavaScript developers who aren't used to systems programming.
You will learn what WebAssembly is, why you would consider adding it to your stack, and how to properly integrate it into your project.
You will get to experience what it's like to access a user's hardware to perform intensive tasks, such as image processing and even develop an image processing project that you can add to your portfolio.
About the Author: Zero To Mastery
Zero To Mastery (ZTM) is a Toronto-based online coding academy founded by Andrei Neagoie, originally a senior developer at large Canadian tech firms before turning to teaching full-time. The academy's signature is the cohort-based bootcamp track combined with a deep self-paced course library, all aimed at career-changers and self-taught developers preparing to land software-engineering roles at top companies.
The instructor roster has grown well beyond Andrei to include other senior practitioners: Daniel Bourke (machine learning), Aleksa Tešić (DevOps), Jacinto Wong, and others. Courses cover the full software-engineering career path: web development with React and Next.js, Python, machine learning and deep learning, DevOps and cloud, system design, mobile, and the algorithm / data-structure interview prep that gates engineering jobs.
The CourseFlix listing under this source carries over 120 ZTM courses spanning that full range. Material is paid; ZTM itself runs on a monthly / annual membership model. The teaching style favours long-form, project-based courses where students build complete portfolio-quality applications rather than disconnected feature tutorials.
