Description

JavaScript is a powerful language. On the web, it is your only real choice to build a true portable application that works on any browser, any device and any operating system.

However, there are some drawbacks! JavaScript is also known be have quite a few quirks. Many developers used to Java, C# or any other mainstream language have made the mistake of underestimating JavaScript. Behind the surface of its familiar looks is an entire world of “strange” design and language features, that do not work exactly as you would expect from a mainstream language point of view.

Up until now, some features that are in high demand, such as classes, modules and lambda expressions are also missing from the language. Not anymore though! In the new revision of the JavaScript specification (ECMAScript 6 “Harmony”) are a lot of changes that will help solve some of the language’s historical problems. At the same time, new features are introduces to make the language even more powerful than it already was. These changes are being introduced in browsers as we speak!

RealDolmen now offers this course targeted to web developers with existing JavaScript experience to familiarize themselves with the future of JavaScript.
