How to Javascript in 2016

README.md

Here I was, all this time, thinking that JQuery was how people still did things.

Apparently Javascript has changed since I last looked, and things are simpler/more baked in.

Here are the new things:

Getting Elements

Where JQuery let you do:

var foo = $('#foo_id');

You can now do:

var foo = document.querySelector('#foo_id');

AJAX Calls

JQuery had some nice interface for making AJAX calls.

Apparently now there's this new fetch thing:

• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API/Basic_concepts
• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Request

Class Stuff

Data Stuff

So cool! Welcome to 2016, you guys! Thanks to the GG Bois for learning me!
