- 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
