Introduction to ECMAScript 6 (ES6)

ECMAScript 6 is the new edition to the ECMAScript language, whose specifications are inherited by JavaScript. ES6 gives a vast makeover to JavaScript by adding new syntaxes and APIs to write complex applications and libraries that are easier to debug and maintain. By learning the latest version of ECMAScript, you'll have a greater understanding of JavaScript and more confidence and fluency when developing with it - follow this course and use and adopt ES6 features into your work, instead of the usual tired JavaScript hacks and tricks.

Course Objectives

Our engaging instructors and mentors are highly experienced practitioners who bring years of current "on-the-job" experience into every classroom. Working in a hands-on learning environment, guided by our expert team, attendees will learn about and explore:

  • Learn the new syntax of ECMAScript 6
  • Use the new prototype-based features introduced by ES6
  • Execute ES6 in a non-supported ES6 environment
  • Learn how to write asynchronous code using promises - it makes your code more efficient and easier to maintain
  • Find out how to use iterators, iterables, and generators
  • Explore object-oriented programming and create objects using classes
  • Build proxies using the ES6 proxy API and understand its uses
  • Learn how to create JavaScript libraries using ECMAScript 6 modules
