I would appreciate its free for testers on HN.
What’s there to test? It’s a book. You just read it.
Don’t be obtuse. He means a sample chapter so you can evaluate quality.

Not sure if you're a shill, but you sure seem like a shill to me.

#35Does the book cover anything on rendering with OpenGL or graphics libraries?
Yes! Chapter 8 talks about graphics; the Pacman example shows how to port a C++/SDL2 Pacman clone to WebAssembly and OpenGL (with Emscripten). That said, the focus of that chapter is porting games like that, but it doesn't go into writing OpenGL directly.

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
Seems like a pretty standard price for a non-fiction book to me..?
Not for a book of 75 pages. The price and the amount of content don't seem to be in balance.
This very common line of thinking is how books that ought to be 75 pages balloon out to 225 pages, using 3x the words to convey the same amount of content.

That's so cool, thanks for sharing! Do you know where I can find more info about how it was built/which portion of the app uses WebAssembly?

I recently added a book sample (http://www.levelupwasm.com/sample-jq.pdf) and a table of contents (http://www.levelupwasm.com/toc.pdf), hope that helps.
