Renaissance Nerd: CoffeeScript Tutorial Round-Up
CoffeeScript has been making waves. DHH’s announcement that it will ship with Rails 3.1 (enabled by default!) has generated a glut of tutorials and opinions. Love it or hate it, integration with Rails 3.1 will give it enough traction to ensure that it sticks around for a while. With that in mind, here are a handful of resources to get you started:
- Rocking Out With CoffeeScript
A reference-style introduction to the language that covers conditionals, loops, and more. - How CoffeeScript makes jQuery more fun than ever
A quick look at jQuery + CoffeeScript. - Rails 3.1: Understanding Sprockets and CoffeeScript
A great follow-up to Peter Cooper’s How to Play with Rails 3.1, CoffeeScript and All That Jazz Right Now - Creating TwitterChimes
See how to build an entire app with CoffeeScript, Node.js, and a few other new-ish technologies. - Using CoffeeScript in Rails and even on Heroku
A very thorough overview from the venerable Dr Nic that’ll be useful for those of you who want to host on Heroku. - CoffeeScript Basics
TeachMeToCode’s introductory screencast. - Meet CoffeeScript
Peepcode’s new introductory screencast ($12). - CoffeeScript: Accelerated JavaScript Development
Not so much a tutorial as it is a book. $36 for Print + eBook, or $18 for the eBook.
I’ve linked to enough text and video here to fill your entire weekend and then some, so if you haven’t learned CoffeeScript by 5/16, um…try harder?
