Introduction to ES6 (2-class series)

Oct 26, 2020, 10:00 PM – Oct 27, 2020, 12:00 AM

Virtual Classes

Step up your JavaScript game with ES6. With new syntax and new awesome features, make your code more modern and more readable with ES.

About this event

ECMAScript 6 (also known as ES6 or Javascript 6) is one of the most currently used versions of Javascript. Javascript, like anything else in the software world, continues to evolve and grow over time, with new features and syntax added every year. Which is why it’s important to stay updated on how the language changes over time.

This class is meant to be a precursor to the upcoming Intro to React 16 cohort, which you can check out at , but can also be taken as a stand alone class.

Class Schedule:

This class is a 2-part series offering 4 hours of instruction. The class will meet two times on the following dates and times:

  • Monday, October 26th, 6:00pm-8:00pm EST
  • Wednesday, October 28th, 6:00pm-8:00pm EST

CLASS GOALS
