Publisher's Synopsis
Mastering Rust WebAssembly
Build lightning-fast, secure, and portable applications across browser, server, and edge environments. Are you tired of juggling JavaScript performance issues and managing disconnected codebases across web and backend systems? Designed for developers and systems architects alike, this book takes you from setting up your first Rust-WASM project to deploying efficient, modular applications in production, unlocking WebAssembly's full power both inside and far beyond the browser. What You'll Learn ✔ Rust and WebAssembly from the Ground Up Understand the WebAssembly ecosystem and why Rust is the leading language for it. Learn the full development workflow compiling, binding, integrating and what makes Rust-WASM applications fast, safe, and scalable. ✔ Real-World Development Environment Get hands-on with setting up a powerful Rust-WASM toolchain using Cargo, wasm-pack, Node.js, and JavaScript bindings. Launch your first working "Hello, WASM" project with confidence. ✔ Idiomatic Rust for WASM Targets Master ownership, lifetimes, and memory safety in web contexts. Write high-performance, idiomatic Rust code optimized for WebAssembly builds and cross-language compatibility. ✔ Rust Meets JavaScript and the Web Build seamless connections between Rust and JavaScript. Use wasm-bindgen to interact with browser APIs, the DOM, and third-party JS libraries no glue code required. ✔ Interactive Web Interfaces with Rust Learn how to build front-end apps using Rust frameworks like Yew and Leptos. Design interactive components, capture user input, and render dynamic UIs entirely in Rust. ✔ Performance Optimization and Diagnostics Debug, profile, and tune your Rust-WASM builds. Learn how to minimize bundle size, reduce latency, and manage memory efficiently-on both client and server. ✔ Real-World Projects and Scalable Architecture Explore full project examples in image processing, game logic, and data visualization. Build hybrid JS/Rust systems with scalable, modular codebases and CI-ready deployment pipelines. ✔ Advanced Topics and Future Directions Go beyond the browser with WASI, multithreading, and interface types. Learn how to deploy Rust-WASM modules to servers, serverless platforms, and edge nodes and secure them using sandboxing and best practices. Who This Book Is For? Web developers, systems engineers, and Rust enthusiasts looking to harness the speed and portability of WebAssembly in modern applications. Architects and product teams aiming to unify their front-end and backend stack with a language that performs brilliantly across every environment. Anyone ready to move past browser-only WASM and step into the next evolution of software deployment-from edge computing to high-performance web apps. Your Journey Starts Here This practical, project-driven guide helps you take full control of your app's performance, security, and architecture using Rust and WebAssembly. With clear examples, real deployment workflows, and deep insight into the fast-evolving WASM landscape, you'll be ready to build applications that are not only fast but future-ready.
