DrupalCon Baltimore 2017: JavaScript ES6: The best vanilla you’ve ever tasted

This talk introduces ECMAScript 2015, also known as ES6, highlighting how it addresses many contemporary JavaScript challenges. The speaker demonstrates the use of Babel, an ES6 compiler that enables developers to transform their code into legacy browser-compatible JavaScript. Attendees will learn how to leverage ES6 features such as improved handling of the this keyword, asynchronous callbacks, modules, and classes, which can make code easier to read and maintain. This session is ideal for those looking to enhance their JavaScript skills and explore modern development practices.
