Hoigaard E. Smooth CoffeeScript

Autotelicum.github.com, 2012. — 214 p.CoffeeScript is a lucid evolution of JavaScript created by Jeremy Ashkenas. This book attempts to be an evolution of Eloquent JavaScript by Marijn Haverbeke. Apart from the major change in explaining CoffeeScript instead of JavaScript, numerous other changes have been made and sections have been added, edited or removed.Everything that is expressed in this book is therefore solely the responsibility of the editor. In the sense of open source software, this book is a fork. To read the excellent original JavaScript work as it was intended by its author refer to Eloquent JavaScript by Marijn Haverbeke.You do not need to know JavaScript but after reading Smooth CoffeeScript you can in A re-introduction to JavaScript by Simon Willison find an overview that can be helpful when debugging or using JavaScript libraries.Foreword.
