What you'll learn

This course shows developers how to use next generation JavaScript language features today. Developers will learn to use ES2015 (previously know as ES6/JS.Next/Harmony) without waiting for browser support by introducing Babel, a JavaScript compiler, into their build process. This course will demonstrate how to install and configure Babel. Developers will learn to use Babel with their preferred front-end build tool (Gulp, Grunt, Webpack, npm Scripts), with Node.js on the server, and while writing unit tests. The course also details how to configure Babel for legacy browser support.
