Modern JavaScript: workshop 3

This month we’ll continue from where we finished the December workshop with the DunedinJS/migrating-to-modern-js project.

Everything will still be at a suitable level for new-comers but it is recommended to take a look project repo and see stages 00 to 05.

Bring your own laptop with Git and Node.js 6.9 installed.
Follow the instructions here to install Node.js:

Also have a text editor with first-class JavaScript support – Atom, VSCode, and Sublime Text are best.

Part 3: ???

Let’s leave this open.

It would be great if anybody has something to present.
An informal question and answer session on anything JavaScript related might also be useful for many.
