Introduction to ES6

JumpStart to ECMAScript 6 (ES6) introduces students to ECMAScript 6's built-in objects and shows them how to create custom Iterators.  It also provides guidance on Next, as well as how to write asynchronous code in a synchronous style using ES6, so developers can unlock greater control and sophistication in the way they develop with JavaScript.

Beyond this, students will also explore how to learn how to use Reflect API to inspect and manipulate object properties. Next, it teaches how to create proxies, and use it to intercept and customize operations performed on objects. Finally, it explains old modular programming techniques such as IIFE, CommonJS, AMD, and UMD and also compares it with ECMAScript modules and demonstrates how modules can increase the performance of websites when used.

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

In order to be successful in this class, incoming attendees are required to have at least some basic experience working with HTML and CSS. Some exposure to JavaScript would be helpful as well.

Take Before: Attendees should have experience with the topics in the following courses, or should have recently attended these as a pre-requisite:

• Web Essentials: HTML5 / CSS3
• Introduction to Modern JavaScript

This introductory-level course is for web developers with at least basic experience in HTML, CSS3 and JavaScript.
