Introduction to ES6
Next
ES What?
- Next version of JS with the current being ES5
- Big chunk of it available on browsers and node
- Completely available through transpilers like Babel
- Subset of Typescript which is catching on

What will I get?
Up to speed with what are the newer ways to code in Javascript !

Block scoped functions
//ES6
{
function foo () { return 1; }
foo() === 1;
{
function foo () { return 2; }
foo() === 2;
}
foo() === 1;
}
//ES5
// only in ES5 with the help of block-scope emulating
// function scopes and function expressions
(function () {
var foo = function () { return 1; }
foo() === 1;
(function () {
var foo = function () { return 2; }
foo() === 2;
})();
