Hi everyone! My name is Mark Zamoyta and Welcome to my course, Rapid ES6 Training! Im a software developer and consultant in Santa Barbara, California. I've worked with every version of JavaScript since its inception, and Im excited to teach you the latest version, ES6! The formal name for this update is EcmaScript 2015, but much of the developer community has stuck with the original name, ES6.
Googles latest Chrome browser supports 96% of ES6 features! Firefox and Edge are close behind and catching up. There are also transpilers to get many ES6 features working on Internet Explorer and mobile browsers. Now is definitely the time to start coding in ES6!
This course will rapidly review all aspects of this latest JavaScript update:
1. New syntax, which makes JavaScript look and feel more modern.
2. How to structure JavaScript code to make use of modules and classes.
3. Almost every built-in JavaScript object has been extended, so we'll see whats been added.
4. New Objects and APIs include collection classes such as Map, WeakMap, Set and WeakSet.
We can now work with Iterators, Generators and a new primitive type called Symbol. We also have a built in Promise class, and there are two new APIs for meta-programming: the Reflect API and Proxy API.
By the end of this course youll know and be able to use the new syntax and features of ES6. Before beginning this course, you should be familiar with the prior version of JavaScript, ES5.
I hope youll join me on this journey to learn ES6 with the Rapid ES6 Training course, at Pluralsight!
