Reflections on writing a book

Hello friends, I just published a new blog post — Reflections on writing a book:

I wrote a book! It’s called WebAssembly from the Ground Up — it’s an online book where you learn Wasm by writing a simpler compiler in JavaScript. You can read a free sample if it tickles your fancy.

Together with my friend Mariano, I’ve been working on the book for just over two and half years. And (big surprise) it was a huge learning experience! While everything is still fresh in my mind, I wanted to capture some of the things we learned here.

Enjoy!

Oh and also — if you're interested in the book and haven't already bought a copy, you can get 25% off. Just go to wasmgroundup.com and use the code NEWSLETTERLAUNCH at checkout.

✌️,

Pat
