CoffeeScript The Smart Way
CoffeeScript The Smart Way
Learn CoffeeScript by Solving the Most Interesting Scenarios
About the Book
CoffeScript allows you to code with less lines than Javascript, it makes everything easier than Javascript, it's powerful, efficient, it's the language you need to start using from now on.
You write your code in CoffeeScript, then it gets compiled into plain Javascript and it's fully compatible with all your scripts, libraries and frameworks.
The functionality of CoffeScript is incredible, a script coded in Javascript might take you 57 lines of code, when you use CoffeScript you might code the same script in just 13 lines.
People are using CoffeeScript to make games, web development, applications, you name it !! It's easy to learn and this book takes you through a series of scenarios teaching you how to address them in CoffeSccript. (Once you see it in action you will never stop using it !!)
