An Introduction to WebAssembly with SDL and C++ (Or porting Audio Production software to run in your browser).
Simon Lees
I am a Software Engineer based in Australia, I have been working on openSUSE for 6 years maintaining the Enlightenment desktop and several other packages, I have also been active in the community both on IRC and mailing lists, in more recent times I have also become a member of the package review team. I have spent the last year working at SUSE as a packager and outside of this have interests in topics such as desktop design as well as robotics and electronics.
No video of the event yet, sorry!
With the types of products and projects that we regularly work on many of us don't get alot of exposure to new fancy technology, this talk aims to give a quick introduction to one of these topics, web assembly.
As some background, For the last year i've been helping to port Little Piggy Tracker (LGPT) a clone of the LSDJ audio software for Game Boy to various handheld devices. At the same time I saw a conference talk that was an introduction to web assembly, this prompted me to ask the ever dangerous question "how hard can it be?"
It turns out the answer to that question was not that hard so this talk will go through a brief overview of webassembly followed by the process I went through to port my code along with some of the other challenges i've had porting LGPT to other devices.
