WebAssembly is a low-level compilation target for any programming language that can be interpreted into WebAssembly. Alternatively, WebAssembly is a way to run languages other than JavaScript in the browser. Or, yet another way of describing WebAssembly is a virtual machine for executing code in a low level, well-defined sandbox.

WebAssembly is reshaping what is possible to do in the web browser. A developer can write a program in Rust or C++, compile it down into a WebAssembly module, and call out to that module via JavaScript. This is very useful for running memory-sensitive workloads in the browser—such as 3-D games.

But WebAssembly is also useful for running modules outside of the browser. Why is that important? If you can already run C++ or Rust code outside of the browser by executing the program from the command line, why would you want to put the code into a WebAssembly module before executing it? One answer is security. WebAssembly modules have well-defined semantics for what memory they can access. WebAssembly could provide more reliable sandboxing for untrusted code.

Steve Klabnik is a software engineer at Mozilla, and he joins the show today to play the role of a WebAssembly futurist. We revisit the basics of WebAssembly and the current state of the technology. Steve talks Steve also describes the lessons of past web technologies such as Flash—and what they did right and wrong. We also explore the current and future applications of WebAssembly, which we will talk about in more detail in tomorrow’s episode.

Micro-Frontends with Luca Mezzalira 46:35

When you visit a web page, the creator’s intent is to present you a seamless experience that fills your browser window. That web page or web application is generally divided up in some meaningful way across navigation elements, content, ads, header, footer, and other components. Those components may represent the work of independent teams. Typically a web app is built in a single code base, pulling all those components into a monolithic software application. For backend software development, these monoliths are often split up in a refactoring towards microservice architecture. In this episode, I interview Luca Mezzalira, author of Building Micro-Frontends.

The React Framework has seen continuous growth of adoption since its launch. There are many reasons for that, but one reason is how relatively painless it is to use `react-create-app` or copy some boilerplate code and have a functioning, hot reloading, live demo up and running in minutes. There is, however, a long way to do between proof of concept and enterprise app. Paige Niedringhaus is a software engineer and creator of The Newline Guide to Modernizing an Enterprise React App . In this episode, we discuss best practices and strategies for structuring your React project.

As our guest today points out, most enterprise software applications are essentially forms for collecting data. The tag and related components started appearing in HTML fairly early and those same concepts are still in use with modern web browsers. However, the technology for capturing state, validating input, and providing other common services for the management of form data has continued to evolve in many languages and frameworks. Erik Rasmussen is the author of many popular open-source libraries including Redux Form and React Final Form. In this interview, we discuss the need for those tools to fill in the market and some of the modern approaches for form state management.

WorkOS: Making Enterprise-Ready Apps with Michael Grinich 46:02

4 years ago46:02

46:02

The typical procedure many companies follow to reach production-level code is design the program, code and test it in different environments, and put it in a pipeline to deploy to production. Developers can make it pretty far into building their core features before inevitably breaking to include enterprise features and security standards like Single Sign On, Okta security and authorization for different user groups, Workday integrations, etc…. Including these requirements can put stress on a team with newer developers or limited resources. For some large projects, these standards need months to fully build out and test. The company WorkOS is dramatically shortening the time it takes to make applications enterprise ready so that developers and IT teams can focus on the application itself. WorkOS provides developer-minded tools like RESTful endpoints, JSON responses, framework-native SDKs, and a developer dashboard, among other tools, to integrate otherwise complicated enterprise standards in just a few lines of code. Their mission is to simplify building applications for enterprise users so that developers can focus on creating core features in a timely manner. In this episode, Michael Grinich ( @grinich ) discusses the process of building enterprise applications, the challenges of modern security and administrative requirements, and how WorkOS is solving those issues.

WordPress is a free and open-source content management system, or CMS, written in PHP. Since its release in 2003, WordPress has become ubiquitous on the web. It is estimated that roughly 60 million websites use WordPress as a CMS. However, despite its popularity, WordPress has limitations in its design. WordPress sites are dynamic, and the front and back end are tightly coupled. A dynamic, full-stack application can be useful when handling complex functionality, but it also slows down the site and opens up security vulnerabilities. Strattic is a static site generator and hosting platform that specializes in converting WordPress sites into a static architecture. Static pages are isolated from the backing application, improving security against common WordPress vulnerabilities. Modern web users have high expectations for speed and security, and Strattic helps WordPress sites achieve this without sacrificing the benefits of the WordPress platform. Zeev Suraski is the CTO of Strattic. Zeev is one of the architects and principal authors of the PHP language, which is the foundation of WordPress. Zeev joins the show today to talk about the place of PHP in modern web development, and how Strattic helps WordPress developers build modern, fast, and secure sites.
