Staying Up To Date

What’s Next? Staying Up To Date with Javascript

The Javascript language is standardized and improved by way of the ECMAScript specification.

Starting with ECMASCript 6 (ES6 in 2015) a new version of the specification has been published yearly.

Additions to the language don’t end up in the browsers immediately, but we can check caniuse.com to see when new features are widely supported.

Along with improvements to the language syntax there are also new Web APIs being added to the browser.

A great way to keep up with the Javascript language is to listen to web development podcasts like Syntax.fm and Javascript Jabber, or subscribe to email roundups like Javascript Weekly and Frontend Focus.
