CoffeeScript has taken the web development world by storm. It provides all the power of the JavaScript language in a friendly and elegant package. With this extensively revised and updated new edition, there’s no faster way to learn to write a modern web application.

Every chapter has been revised and refactored. New in this edition, you’ll learn how to:
• Automate setup with the Grunt task runner
• Use CoffeeScript classes with the Backbone framework
• Use CoffeeScript’s simple callback syntax to interact with the Express framework
• Do client-side and server-side testing with Mocha
• Work on a new project that gives you hands-on experience with browser-side and server-side CoffeeScript

CoffeeScript is every bit as portable and effective as JavaScript. This book is your complete guide to writing better JavaScript code, faster.

“Go, go, Coffee! This book is a great introduction to the world of CoffeeScript.”

–David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of Rails
