JavaScript: The (Really) Good Parts
JavaScript is a little-known up-and-coming programming language with stunningly beautiful syntax, strong type-checking, and a simple, obvious API. No, wait, I have that backwards. In fact, JavaScript is the most widely deployed language in the world with a long and complicated history that frequently makes it the butt of developer jokes.
Let's dispel some myths and study the best features of JavaScript from classic ECMAScript 3 (1999) through the latest and greatest of ES2022. If you're still using jQuery or other libraries to fill functionality gaps, this session is all about modernizing your JavaScript while learning to appreciate how far it's come. Concepts include arrow function expressions, classes, template literals, generators, optional chaining, fetch, promises, and much more.
