Learn how to create, build, and execute WebAssembly (WASM) using Rust in this 33-minute video. The course covers scaffolding a webassembly project, building it in Rust (including on Apple M1), executing wasm code in node.js, comparing Rust-generated wasm to hand-coded wasm, and reverse engineering wasm to webassembly text format (wat). The course teaches skills such as installing wasm-pack, creating a rust library for wasm, writing rust webassembly code, and optimizing generated release wasm. The teaching method includes practical demonstrations and code walkthroughs. This course is intended for individuals interested in web development, Rust programming, and exploring the capabilities of WebAssembly.
