The JavaScript 'use strict' Statement

About this Workshop

This workshop is all about JavaScript’s “use strict” statement.

Recently you may have seen a curious little string “use strict”; appearing at the top of JavaScript files and within functions. This little statement causes the JavaScript interpreter to run in a strict variant. It can introduce a lot of breaking changes to your code, but in this workshop we’ll check out why this is a good thing!
