Tech Swindon Summit 2020: Deep Dive - WebAssembly, Rust And Blazor

AND Digital

Join us as we deep dive into the opportunities and things to consider with WebAssembly and WebAssembly-based frameworks Rust and Blazor.

Join us online at Tech Swindon Summit 2020, where we will be deep diving into the opportunities presented by WebAssembly, as well as WebAssembly-based frameworks, Rust and Blazor.JavaScript has long been the king of languages for the web, and has improved in both features and performance - but is there a challenger in waiting? WebAssembly and the rapidly emerging frameworks that work with it promise to allow developers to write applications that are almost as performant as native code, while remaining in the browser. In this talk Jeff Watkins, AND’s Chief Engineer, will explain what WebAssembly is, if it could replace JavaScript, and how it could work alongside it to help provide the future of performant and interactive. To show the potential of WebAssembly, Sam Benali, Tech Lead, and George MacKay-Shore, Senior Product Developer at AND, will demonstrate two technologies that use it - Rust and Microsoft’s Blazor.About JeffJeff is the chief engineer at AND Digital.
