JavaScript Masterclass - Zero to Job-Ready with Hands-On Projects - Babel Introduction

This lecture introduces Babel, a tool that allows developers to write modern JavaScript while ensuring compatibility with older browsers. The instructor explains the challenges of using modern JavaScript features like 'let', 'async/await', and arrow functions, which are not supported by all browsers. Babel solves this by converting modern code into an older version that is widely supported. A demonstration shows how Babel transforms code using its online platform. The lecture concludes with a preview of the next session, which will cover installing Babel locally using NPM.
