JavaScript Workshop (ES6) @ Priceline

Description: ES6 is a new implementation of JavaScript that is packed with new features like Default Parameters, Template Literals and Arrow Functions. Maybe you’ve never heard of all this new ES6 stuff, or you just haven’t had a chance to use it yet. Perfect! Come to our event, and we’ll dive right in.

We’ll review a few ES6 features and then have some fun. For anyone who wants to stay, we'll work on a few problems to try them out.* Once you see how cool ES6 is, you’ll want to learn more.

Topics include:

new object and array functions

rest and spread

destructuring
