This book explores the newest features of JavaScript, along with who manages the process of improving JavaScript, how new features get introduced, terminology, and a high-level overview of new features. Author T.J. Crowder then looks at each new or updated item in depth, with example uses, possible pitfalls, and recommendations for updating old habits in light of new features. The book is non-platform specific, aimed at programmers working in web development, Node.js, Electron, Windows Universal Apps, or another JavaScript environment.
