I started learning CoffeeScript recently to write Javascript faster. I have varying opinion on using CoffeeScript, especially after reading an article where the creator of Javascript and other Javascript ninjas gave their opinion on whether or not to learn the not-language.
Personally, I am learning it just in case I have to work with a larger team or on a project where CoffeeScript is already started with. Knowledge, they say, is never lost. So my list:
- My favorite website on the topic was Carbonfive! Learning was really simplified with a bunch of walk throughs and a code editor to assist you as you learn
- The CoffeeScript website was good enough. Of course we would expect the website itself to be able to explain the syntaxes.
- Rocking Out With CoffeeScript on TutPlus was a good place, first of all introducing CoffeeScript then giving you the pros and the cons of learning.
- The Absolute Beginner’s Guide To Coffeescript on TeamTreeHouse is a good place too
I’d like to have other opinions and what coding in Coffeescript has been like for you!
