ES6 in Motion is a unique video course that guides you through the most powerful ES6 features, like promises, arrow functions, and modules, giving you opportunities to practice and explore as you go. This self-paced tutorial includes over 7 hours of video teaching, neatly broken into digestible 5-7 minute lessons. If you've been struggling to wrap your head around ES6, or you're just looking for a fast way to level-up your JavaScript, it's time to get moving.
ES6, aka ECMAScript 2015, is the latest JavaScript language standard, offering dozens of powerful new language features. ES6 introduces proper classes, template strings, types, full support for Unicode, and more. For developers working with Node on server-side applications, the ES6 support for promises, arrow functions, and modules is a game-changer. ES6 keeps the simplicity and reliability you love about JavaScript, and adds the high-value professional language features you've been craving.This course is suitable for developers comfortable with using client-side JavaScript or Node.js.
Wes Higbee is an experienced teacher and developer with two decades of JavaScript under his belt.
This is a good introduction to the new changes coming to ES6. The course is well organized and covers a very good range of topics.
Vijay Patel, Front-End Engineer
A valuable addition for everyone who is fresh to JavaScript, and more seasoned developers who are not familiar with all new ES6 features.
