7 years ago Hi @TheBenji - thanks for your proposal. I agree - there is a lot in ES6 that should get more attention and usage. I'm sure we're not using it to the fullest... This could be a really good talk.
I think our attendees are varied enough in their knowledge and experience to start basic and get more complex - if you could provide some good practical code examples... Push it a little further than let, const, and var (we had a talk recently that covered lexical scoping and dealt with these concepts quite thoroughly)
It's up to you of course, and you have 20-25 minutes but things I'd like to see explained and demonstrated well:
- constructing and using promises
- interesting ways to use the spread operator, rest parameters, and destructuring to make our node js more expressive and intuitive to read.
- a practical case for generators
And while you're there, maybe touch on the node's 97% coverage of es6 - and maybe give a little nod to the new features in ES2016+ and what to expect at your talk next year 😉
On a practical note - we have a slot available for the February meetup (next week Wednesday 22nd) - are you able to make that?

As part of ES6 node finally has a native support for promises and generator. In this talk I'd like to introduce you to the concept and syntax of both, show you some ways you may use them in the real world and give a quick lookout what's up next.
Hey, my name is Ben, I’m a dev from Germany. The first time I came in contact with code I was probably around 12 years old. My dad gave me a little model train set and we hooked it up to an old computer so I could program (with QBasic, fun times!) the trains and make them automatically drive around and stop at train stations and fun stuff like that.
By now I learned a little more about software development and worked in a variety of different companies mostly buildings APIs with a node stack in one form or another.
