Modern JavaScript and Web API development
Details
After introducing you to the basics of JavaScript and how the front-end tools work, it's time to look at the most recent additions to the language.
This workshop focuses on the new language features introduced in the major update to JavaScript known as ECMAScript (ES) 2015 or ES 6. We'll look at what problems these new features solve, and also build an application that talks to a server-side REST based API.
This workshop also covers more of working with web development in a browser development console.
