This year ECMA International will be ratifying the biggest update to the JavaScript language in its history. In this talk we'll look at key features already appearing in browsers as well as those coming in the near future. We'll also explore how you can begin leveraging the power of ES6 across all browsers today. If you haven't looked at JavaScript recently, you soon realize that a bigger, better world awaits.
This document discusses new features coming to JavaScript in ECMAScript 6, including:
1) Block scope keywords "let" and "const" that allow for block-level scoping of variables.
2) Shorthand syntax for object literals and method definitions.
3) Destructuring assignments for extracting values from objects and arrays.
4) Default parameter values, rest parameters, and spread syntax for working with functions and arrays.
5) New features like modules, classes, and imports for better organizing code.
GraphQL is a specification created by Facebook that defines a query language for fetching data from backend services. It allows clients to request specific data fields from a server in a hierarchical manner and receive only the requested data. GraphQL queries are strongly typed and introspective, allowing clients to understand the structure of the returned data. While still in draft form, GraphQL is used in production by Facebook's mobile apps and provides advantages over traditional REST APIs by being more product-centric and client-driven.
This document provides an introduction to key concepts in Angular2 including modules, components, views, metadata, data binding types, directives, services, and dependency injection. Modules define an application structure. Components define classes with metadata for templates and directives. Views are HTML templates. Data binding syncs data and displays. Directives add behavior to views. Services provide reusable business logic. Dependency injection provides services to components.
The document discusses the Serverless Framework, which is a build tool that makes it easy to setup and invoke Lambda functions on AWS. It allows developers to manage multiple Lambda functions across different regions and stages, and share code between functions. The Serverless Framework supports Node.js, Python, Java/Scala and other runtimes. Functions are defined in a serverless.yml file along with triggers like HTTP events, S3 uploads, schedules and more. The framework handles deployments to AWS and other cloud providers.
This document provides a history of ECMAScript (ES) and JavaScript standards. It discusses the origins of JavaScript in 1995 and its standardization by ECMA in 1997 as ECMAScript. New versions were released periodically, including ES5 in 2009 and ES6 in 2015. ES6 was also referred to as ES2015 since version names going forward would be based on the year of release.
The document summarizes the key features of ES6 (ECMAScript 2015), the next version of JavaScript. It discusses new features like block scoping with let and const, arrow functions, classes, enhanced object literals, template strings, and promises. It also covers iterators and generators, which allow iterable objects to be looped over and asynchronous code to be written more cleanly. The presentation provides examples to illustrate how developers can take advantage of these new language features in their code.
ECMAScript 6: A Better JavaScript for the Ambient Computing EraAllen Wirfs-Brock
We've entered the Ambient Computing Era and JavaScript is its dominant programing language, But a new computing era needs a new and better JavaScript. It's called ECMAScript 6 and it's about to become the new JavaScript standard. Why do we need it? Why did it take so long? What's in it? When can you use it? Answers will be given.

Talk for FOSSASIA 2016 (http://2016.fossasia.org)
----
This talk will give a brief and enlightening look into how GraphQL can help you address common weaknesses that you, as a web / mobile developer, would normally face with using / building typical REST API systems.
Let's stop fighting about whether we should implement the strictest interpretation of REST or how pragmatic REST-ful design is the only way to go, or debate about what REST is or what it should be.
A couple of demos (In Golang! Yay!) will be shown that are guaranteed to open up your eyes and see that the dawn of liberation for product developers is finally here.
Background: GraphQL is a data query language and runtime designed and used at Facebook to request and deliver data to mobile and web apps since 2012.
Hafiz Ismail (@sogko) is a contributor to Go / Golang implementation of GraphQL server library (https://github.com/graphql-go/graphql) and is looking to encourage fellow developers to join in the collaborative effort.
The next version of JavaScript, ES6, is starting to arrive. Many of its features are simple enhancements to the language we already have: things like arrow functions, class syntax, and destructuring. But other features will change the way we program JavaScript, fundamentally expanding the capabilities of the language and reshaping our future codebases. In this talk we'll focus on two of these, discovering the the myriad possibilities of generators and the many tricks you can pull of with template strings.

Getting Started with Angular 2
with Rob McDiarmid
OVERVIEW
Angular 2 is a powerful framework that lets you create fast and scalable web apps with clean and readable code. With the lessons learned from previous web frameworks and the advantages of modern web technologies, the Angular team has created a framework that will push the limits of what SPAs are capable of.
In this session we’ll go through building an Angular 2.0 app from the ground up. In the process, you will learn how it handles core concepts like components, templates, services, and routing. You’ll also see how angular takes advantage of ES6 modules, Web Components, and TypeScript. By the end of the session, you’ll have a good understanding of why you might want to use Angular 2 for your next project and how to get started.
OBJECTIVE
Demonstrate what Angular 2 has to offer and reduce the barrier to entry.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Web Developers interested in learning Angular 2.
ASSUMED AUDIENCE KNOWLEDGE
Intermediate experience with JavaScript.
FIVE THINGS AUDIENCE MEMBERS WILL LEARN
1. Core concepts of the Angular 2 framework
2. How to use ES6 modules
3. The benefits of TypeScript annotations
4. How to setup an Angular 2 project from scratch
5. The ecosystem of tools that Angular 2 apps will be built on
This document discusses building powerful enterprise applications with Angular and TypeScript. It provides an overview of key concepts in Angular including modules, components, templates, directives, services, routing and data binding. It also covers TypeScript features such as static type checking, transpiling to JavaScript, and advantages for productivity and managing large codebases. The document demonstrates how Angular and TypeScript can be used together to build robust single page applications.
