JavaScript is growing up, and browser vendors are on board! But many developers are stuck in the year 2000. This session will show attendees some of the more compelling—and practical—changes in ES6/2015. We’ll talk about new variable declaration types and scopes, default function args, object deconstruction, template strings, “classes,” and more. This will be a quick tour, but with practical examples and info every developer should have. This is not an introductory session, so attendees should come armed with a basic understanding of JavaScript functions, scope, and async programming!
