  1. What is ECMAScript 6? ECMAScript 6, also known as ECMAScript

    2015, is the latest version of the ECMAScript standard
  2. History  1995 – JavaScript  1997 – ECMAScript 1

     2009 – ECMAScript 5  2015 – ECMAScript 6 ECMA - European Computer Manufacturers Association
  3. What you should already know?  JavaScript  HTML 

    CSS  Object Oriented Programming for Classes
  4. ES6 Browser Support  Currently ES6 is not supported completely

     Most of the features of ES5 are supported by all browsers  Conversion from ES6 to ES5 required  Babel Babel is a essentially an ECMAScript 6 to ECMAScript 5 compiler. It allows you to use ES6 features in your projects and then compiles ES5 for you to use in production.
  5. Features in ECMA Script 6  New keywords for declaring

    variables  let  const  Spread Operator  For functions:  Default parameters  Arrow functions  Classes
  6.  ‘let’ allows you to declare variables  limits the

    scope to block, statement, or expression on which it is used ‘let’ keyword
  7.  ‘const’ creates a read-only reference to a value 

    variable identifier cannot be reassigned  Does NOT mean the value it holds is immutable ‘const’ keyword
  8.  allows an expression to be expanded  works with:

     multiple arguments (for function calls)  multiple elements (for array literals)  multiple variables (for de structuring assignment) ‘Spread’ operator (…)
  9.  allow formal parameters to be initialized with default values

    if no value or undefined is passed Default Function Parameters
  10.  also known has “Fat Arrow Functions” and are always

    anonymous  has a shorter syntax compared to function expressions  make the JS code more readable Arrow Functions (=>)
  11.  introduced in ECMAScript 6  provide a much simpler

    and clearer syntax to create objects and deal with inheritance  NOT introducing a new object-oriented inheritance model to JS Classes
  12. Thank you! See you Again Soon  “Success is that
