• TDD-style exercises: ES6 Katas
• Can I Use
  • These fancy new features get supported by browsers and versions of node at different times. It's a gotcha. caniuse is a great resource for finding browser compatibility.
• Using a tool like babel -- a "transpiler"/compiler is one way to make sure the ES6 we write is safe for all browsers.
  • In-browser editor for seeing ES6 "transpile" to old JavaScript/ES5: babel repl
  • Try the demos and exercises in this repo in the repl to practice writing ES6 and see how it translates to JavaScript/ES5
• Another solution used in conjunction or separate is to "polyfill":
  • definition
  • polyfill.io
  • One caveat with polyfills is that there are some features they cannot patch.
  • More on how the two concepts work together at javascript.info
• ES6 in context, tutorial with an app
