Øredev last week, I had the pleasure of giving a talk on es6. Many of the new features I covered touch on challenges we've faced building the Azure Portal. Instead of covering each new feature one by one (Luke Hoban already does a nice job of that) I decided to cover a few high level features that fundamentally affect the way teams build large scale JavaScript applications. I also covered the tools you can use today to use these new APIs before browsers catch up. ">

Rockin' the big stage at Øredev

Instead of covering each new feature one by one (Luke Hoban already does a nice job of that) I decided to cover a few high level features that fundamentally affect the way teams build large scale JavaScript applications.
