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 (ES7 just released but we're not counting that), the last update was in 2009.
  • What is Transpilation and how does it relate to ES6?
    • Transpilation is the way ES6 converts into ES5, which is recognized by most major browsers.
  • Looking at the ES6 Features link below, discuss one update from ES5 and if it seems useful/superfluous.
    • String interpolation is pretty kewl. Definitely easier than concatenating. I'm concatenating in my project right now but I would like to move over into ES6 land and Interpolate 4 Lyfe.
    • Promises.. What are promises? A way to manage asynchronous calls?
