es6 - 1510

Throughout the module (and your journey to Google enlightenment while working on IdeaBox2.0) you may notice a few different ways that JavaScript code is being written.

That might have something to do with something called ES6 and ES5

Fork this gist and answer the following questions:

  • What is ES6?

  • ES6 is the newest version of JavaScript

  • What is Transpilation and how does it relate to ES6?

  • Transpilation is the process of turining ES6 into ES5 since not all engines support ES6 yet

  • Looking at the ES6 Features link below, discuss one update from ES5 and if it seems useful/superfluous,

  • String interpolation!!! Yay. Much cooler than having to concatenate everywhere.
