Course Overview: JavaScript ES2019 in Practice

In this course, we'll learn how to use the new features available in the latest version of javascript, commonly referred to as ES2019. ES2019 is available in the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Node, and are available via compilation with Babel or Typescript.

The goal of this course is to introduce you to opportunities to use ES2019 in real situations from within an existing student grade tracking Nuxt.js application, and explore real world use cases and opportunities to use ES2019's new features.

We'll learn together as we discover how to use Object.fromEntries, Symbol.prototype.description, Array.prototype.flatMap, Array.prototype.flat, String.prototype.trimStart, String.prototype.trimEnd, Optional Catch binding, and Array Stable Sorting.

By the end of this course, you’ll know how and when to use ES2019 to accomplish more with less code, and my hope is that you'll be inspired to stay up to date with the latest changes to the core JS language as they come out.
