Using ES6 with TypeScript
This course teaches how to use the new syntax features of ES6 today, with TypeScript as a transpiler.
What you'll learn
This course is for JavaScript developers who want to learn the new syntax features of ES6 - officially, ECMAScript 2015. Using only free and cross-platform tools, Steve Ognibene shows the ES6 features that can be transpiled to work in production today. This course focuses on general-purpose language features, so the information is relevant to users of any client or server-side JavaScript framework or platform. This course uses TypeScript as the ES6 to ES5 transpiler. No previous TypeScript knowledge is required, and the vast majority of the course content is applicable to future native-ES6 environments or other transpilers.
