JavaScript is a fundamental asset for any web developer. As an evolving language, new releases continue to refine it to make it more accessible for large-scale use. ECMA Script, or ES in short, is the standardized name for the programming language popularly known as JavaScript. The sixth release of the script is known as ES6 and features major enhancements which improve Javascript's usability. Writing and reading code is now easier with the introduction of features like Arrows, Symbols, etc. 

This course provides a practical view into all of the components present in ES6. We'll discuss the importance of each component, learning how and why it makes things simpler in Javascript. Interactive exercises and quizzes will help you adopt these modern coding practices for JavaScript. ES6 is rapidly growing in popularity, and this course is essential for anyone who wants to be fully immersed into JavaScript.

JavaScript In Practice: ES6 And Beyond

The concepts of prototypes and prototypal inheritance in ES5 are hard to understand for many developers transitioning from another programming language to JavaScript. 

ES6 classes introduce *syntactic sugar* to make prototypes look like classical inheritance.

For this reason, some people applaud classes, as it makes JavaScript appear more familiar to them. Others seem to have launched a holy war against classes, claiming that the class syntax is flawed.

On some level, all opinions have merit. My advice to you is that the market is always right. Knowing classes gives you the advantage that you can maintain code written in the class syntax. It does not mean that you have to use it. If your judgment justifies that classes should be used, go for it.

I use classes on a regular basis, and my [React-Redux tutorials](http://www.zsoltnagy.eu/category/react-redux/) also make use of the class syntax.

Not knowing the class syntax is a disadvantage.
