ES6: The JavaScript We've Waited Decades For

This hands-on workshop is aimed at JavaScript programmers who have yet to delve into ES6, the next generation of JavaScript we’ve waited decades for. We’ll discuss many of the major aspects of ES6 and make comparisons between ES6 code and its equivalent — when possible — in ES5. We’ll cover arrow functions, the const and let operators, deconstructing, default function parameter values, the spread operator, string templates, and promises.

Intended Audience

This workshop is intended for JavaScript programmers experienced in versions of JavaScript before ES6, such as ES5, etc.
