Commitment to Open Source #
HasGeek believes in open source as the binding force of our community. If you are describing a codebase for developers to work with, we’d like it to be available under a permissive open source license. If your software is commercially licensed or available under a combination of commercial and restrictive open source licenses (such as the various forms of the GPL), please consider picking up a sponsorship. We recognize that there are valid reasons for commercial licensing, but ask that you support us in return for giving you an audience. Your session will be marked on the schedule as a sponsored session.

If you are interested in conducting a hands-on session on any of the topics falling under the themes described above, please submit a proposal under the workshops section. We also need you to tell us about your past experience in teaching and/or conducting workshops.

Full talk

The next version of JavaScript, defined by ECMAScript 6 (ES6), is packed with great, new features. This talk gives a brief of ECMAScript 6 features and tools that enable you to use them today.
Outline #
ECMAScript 6, the new Javascript standard, is going to be released by the mid of 2015. So its a good time to talk some of the cool features the javascript is going to get. The list includes
- Classes
- Modules
- Promises
- Arrow Functions
- Block Scoping
ECMAScript 6 features are continually appearing in javascript engines. But not all the browsers support all the features. There are tools that can be used today to transpile code to ES5 so that it can work in today’s browsers. There are some well known transpilers.
- Traceur
- BabelJS (was 6to5)
I this talk we will discuss about writing ES6 code and use the BabelJS traspiler to run them in current browsers. Also see how this can be easily automated using the build tools like gulp. I am planning touch upon one of the famous module loader browserify.
Requirements #
Basic knowledge about Javascript
