My new book: “Setting up ES6”

Image
My latest book is called “ Setting up ES6 ”. It covers the following topics: A cheat sheet for deploying ECMAScript 6 Example setups (skeleton projects that you can download from GitHub): ES6 in browsers via webpack and Babel ES6 in Node.js via Babel (compiled dynamically or statically) How to configure Babel 6, including a clear explanation of how it interacts with CommonJS modules “ Setting up ES6 ” was conceived as a companion to my other book, “ Exploring ES6 ”: “ Exploring ES6 ” is supposed to remain relevant for a longer time, so that a print edition makes sense (which I still intend to publish, hopefully by mid-2016). “ Setting up ES6 ” will age more quickly. It mainly documents my attempts to understand how Babel 6 works. In a way, you could call it “Setting up Babel 6”. But it has a slightly broader scope, especially the first chapter on deploying ES6. Happy reading – the contents of “ Setting up ES6 ” are free to read online. If you like the book then you can support my work ...

Announcing “Exploring ES6”

I’m glad to announce that the first version of my book “ Exploring ES6 ” is finally finished! It was much more work than I anticipated – the PDF has over 460 pages! I’m really happy with how it turned out. The complete contents of the book are available online , for free. The ebook version (PDF, EPUB, MOBI) costs about $30 (depending on the VAT in your country, you can pay more to support my work). Exploring ES6 is a living book : you can buy it now and will receive free updates until it is completely done. That may take a while, possibly until 2016. Once the book is done, there will also be a print version. New material will often be published on 2ality, before it is added to the book.
