Talk Title: "The Whole WebAssembly Enchilada"

Description:
Those who understand WebAssembly at all tend to think of it as a technology for replacing JavaScript in the browser. That is not really
anyone's goal. It is designed to allow code in various languages to be
deployed to the browser but there is much more to it.

I wanted to tell the larger story in my book, "WebAssembly : The
Definitive Guide" but even there I only captured a snapshot in time of
a technology that is finding its way into just about every nook and
cranny of our industry.

In this talk, I will highlight these major trends and offer some
suggestions about where it is going and why now is the time to start
paying attention.

Speaker:
Brian Sletten is a liberal arts-educated software engineer with a focus on forward-leaning technologies. His experience has spanned many industries including retail, banking, publishing, online games, defense, finance, hospitality and health care. His career has been a mix of applying next generation solutions and practical problem solving. This positions him well to understand both the real-world benefits of WebAssembly and the potential that it has to revolutionize our industry. It is the centerpiece of a new vision for building portable, scalable, safe software that provides robust business value for longer timeframes. Brian has been teaching and speaking about WebAssembly for the last three years. He has a B.S. in Computer Science from the College of William and Mary and lives in Auburn, CA.
