Another Javascript ES6 Guide? What the Heck for!

As part of our rewrite I'm doing of our SVG editing app & artwork database, I've switched to an awesome new JS framework called Svelte, which has meant trying to really master ES6. After wading through tutorials, videos, Medium blog posts, etc., the best thing for me has been tinkering in a JS playground with each concept. This got me thinking about putting my experiments & notes into a small guide to ES6.

Features

This is by no means a comprehensive guide to Javascript ES6. For a good overview of changes from ES5, check out es6-features.org. Here you'll find:

  • simple explanations
  • things to keep in mind
  • code to tinker with
For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them. - Aristotle
