Welcome to ES6 - ESNEXT!

In this workshop we will demystify modern Javascript through hands on exercises. After our workshop you will be comfortable using all the newest language features and explaining them to other devs!

Over the course of the evening we will explore the use of:

Transpilers:

- babel, babel-node

ES6

- Arrow Functions, Class syntax, Template strings

- Destructuring

- Default paramaters, Rest operator, Spread operator

- Let and Const vs Var

- ES6 iterators and functional programming in JS

- Modules

- Promises

ESNEXT (ES2016 - Stage 3)

- Understanding language updates - difference between ES7 and ESNEXT

- Rest + Spread properties

There will be a 45 minutes talk to explain the key concepts of ES6 and ES Next, what makes it really special. Then a 1.5 hour workshop to practise those concepts, for which we have prepared a challenge for you to work on. We encourage you to do pair programming to solve our challenge. There will be a mentor to answer your questions during the hacking session.
