Understanding ECMAScript 6
The Definitive Guide for JavaScript Developers

San Francisco, CA (October 18, 2016)--ECMAScript is a standard for scripting
languages, and JavaScript is its most popular implementation. Each JavaScript
engine must meet the ECMAScript requirements that specify core features and
how they should perform. A new book from No Starch Press, "Understanding
ECMAScript 6," covers everything JavaScript developers should know about the
biggest update to the standard in years.

In "Understanding ECMAScript 6" (
http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zrkjrmdlu8de2qcjb10am55i37h... ) (No
Starch Press, $34.95., 352 pp., September 2016), best-selling author Nicholas
C. Zakas delivers a comprehensive guide to ECMAScript 6 specifically for
JavaScript developers. Each chapter walks readers through common problems ES5
developers encounter, then introduces the ES6 features that address those
problems.

"Many developers have dabbled with ES6 but lack a deep understanding of how
the new language features work," says Zakas. "My book discusses the major
changes, and why they were added in the first place, to make it easier for
readers to understand why they might want to use them."

In "Understanding ECMAScript 6," readers learn:

-How objects are now created, modified, and used
-How iterators and generators allow developers to work with data collections
in ways not possible in previous versions of ECMAScript
-How to use new JavaScript classes that make the language approachable to
novices and concise for enthusiasts
-What to expect for ECMAScript in version 7

Zakas, who spent five years as a principal frontend engineer at Yahoo!, pairs
his knowledge and experience with a direct and informative style that
promises to make his latest book an invaluable resource for any JavaScript
developer.

"Understanding ECMAScript 6" is available now in fine bookstores everywhere.
