Welcome to Getting Started with ES 2015.
0:04
JavaScript is an evolving and changing
language that's routinely updated and
0:08
improved upon.
0:12
ES 5, short for ECMAScript 5,
0:14
was long the version of JavaScript
supported in web browsers.
0:16
And if you've taken our JavaScript basics
and loops, arrays and objects courses,
0:20
that's the version you've learned.
0:24
ES 2015, also called ES 6, is a newer
version of the language that's now
0:27
well supported in browsers and
commonly used by programmers.
0:31
If you've learned ES 5 don't worry,
most of the language is the same but
0:35
there are parts of ES 2015 that you
should learn and start using today.
0:40
In this course,
0:44
we'll revisit some of the concepts we
teach in our JavaScript basics and loops,
0:45
arrays, and objects courses including
the ES 2015 way of creating variables.
0:50
Another way to create and
concatenate strings and
0:55
a different way to write functions
known as arrow functions.
