DESCRIPTION At the heart of JavaScript is a beautiful little language. Unfortunately, that inner beauty is clouded with awkward syntax and structure. CoffeeScript is a new way to write JavaScript, providing Ruby-like readability and a more expressive syntax. It compiles into standard JavaScript and works on all implementations without modification. CoffeeScript in Action is a tutorial that teaches how, where, and why to use CoffeeScript. It begins by quickly exposing readers to CoffeeScript's new, but instantly-familiar syntax. Then, it explores programming challenges that illustrate CoffeeScript's unique advantages. Language junkies will especially appreciate how this book takes idioms from other programming languages and shows how CoffeeScript makes them available in JavaScript. RETAIL SELLING POINTS Full coverage of CoffeeScript's syntax and structure Illustrates CoffeeScript's unique advantages Covers best practices and patterns for web app development AUDIENCE This book is written for developers with exposure to JavaScript. No prior exposure to CoffeeScript is required. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY CoffeeScript is a programming language that is very close to JavaScript that compiles (or transpiles) to JavaScript.
