Reviews of CoffeeScript Programming with jQuery, Rails, and Node.js

I had heard of CoffeeScript and I had been meaning to learn more about it. My previous exposure to JavaScript has taught me that JavaScript is an easy language to learn but a hard language to master. Not so with CoffeeScript. CoffeeScript borrows some great ideas from both Ruby and Python to give a cleaner, more programmer friendly alternative to JavaScript - and as the authors say, CoffeeScript is just Javascript.

Overall is an excellent introduction to CoffeeScript - it provides some background detail and advocacy on the language (always useful when learning a new language, as in why one should bother). The authors make an excellent case for using CoffeeScript and then proceed to a quick introduction to the language.

The rest of the book is broken down into separate sections covering everything from setting up your CoffeeScript environment to using CoffeeScript with Rails and Node.js. This is not a long book, but the authors have managed to pack in enough information to get you up and running with plenty of clear code examples.

All in all, this is an excellent introduction to a very useful alternative to bare JavaScript. You will not only learn about CoffeeScript but get a great overview of some of the more interesting web development technologies available at the moment (Rails, JQuery, Node.js). This is by no means an exhaustive reference book. But it is a book that you could read over a weekend and implement some of the code over a few evenings - it will get you up and running. Definitely worth the price.
