TutsPlus – Start Coding ES6 With Babel

JavaScript has evolved a lot over the years. The latest version of the language, ECMAScript 6 (ES6 for short) was recently finalized, and it brings a lot of improvements for developers. Of course, browser support is still spotty.

What if you don’t want to wait for modern browser adoption or to update your server to Node 0.12? In this course you’ll discover how you can write full-stack ES6 today. We’ll use Babel, along with other build tools like Browserify and Gulp, to transpile our ES6 into plain ES5, which is supported by the vast majority of browsers.
