First of all, Camo is a new class-based ES6 ODM for MongoDB and Node. With mainstream ES6 quickly approaching us, I thought we were long overdue for an ODM that took advantage of the new features, so I created Camo. What

A simple Camo model might look like this:
var Document = require('camo')Iterators and generators are usually a secondary thought when writing code, but if you can take a few minutes to think about how to use them to simplify your code, they'll save you a lot of debugging and complexity. With the new ES6 iterators and generators, JavaScript gets similar functionality
Of all the new features in ES6, Symbols might be one of the most interesting to me. I've never been a Ruby developer, so I've never actually seen or used these primitive types in practice. Its an interesting concept, and I'll be diving in to the essentials throughout this
There's no doubt that JavaScript popularity has skyrocketed the last few years, and its quickly becoming the language of choice for not only client-side code, but server side as well. I had never been a huge fan of JavaScript, it just seemed too messy and unnecessarily confusing. While I
