All the latest stuff from ECMAScript 2015

The last year's new 6th version of the ECMAScript standard (which in case you don't know provides the basis for the JavaScript language) introduce many new features that more experienced developers are talking about.

Some of the most notorious features of ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) include:
  • the new "let' keyword to refer to a variable, which differs from the "var" keyword when it comes to scope,
  • the constant (const), which allows you to declare read-only reference to a value,
  • arrow functions, which are aimed at making your code more concise,
  • new methods for handling strings,
  • so called template literals to facilitate the creation of strings and performing string interpolation,
  • new static methods for the Array object.
And a lot more.

Now you can brush up on all of the new changes in ECMAScript 2015 in a short time with this collection of videos from different courses.

What makes ECMAScript 2015 so important?


If you're only starting your journey with JavaScript, ECMA is something you may know very little about. But as a matter of fact, it's the very basis of the language you're learning. ECMS is the standard of a scripting language and JavaScript is the implementation of the standard. Consequently, every time the ECMAScript is updated, JavaScript developers are in for many surprises.

Learning a lot about ECMA when you're at the beginning of your JavaScript journey will truly set you apart. Believe me or not, but there are many quite experienced (and skilled!) JavaScript that know next to nothing about ECMA! Now, with this handly list of videos, you will not be like them.
