Setting up ES6

About the book

ES6 (whose official name is ECMAScript 2015) is the latest version of JavaScript. This book explains how to set up ES6 projects that are compiled to ES5 via Babel 6. It covers the following scenarios:

Deploying ES6 in browsers via Babel and webpack.
Deploying ES6 in Node.js, by statically or dynamically compiling it via Babel.

Required knowledge: You should already know ES6. If you don’t, consult my book “Exploring ES6” which you can read online for free.
