One of the best take aways from this years’ Web2.0Expo/NY for me was the introduction to CoffeeScript. This was done during The New Startup Stack workshop by Trevor Burnham. Which he runs us into a quick overview of CoffeeScript, Node.js and MongoDB.
If you have an understanding of JavaScript and has not seen CoffeeScript yet, it will behoove you to watch this video by Bodil Stokke. By the end of the video you’ll want to run through Trevor’s slides and set your environment up to run Nodelicious.
I truly believe CoffeeScript is the future of JavaScript, and I don’t seem to be the only one.
