Session: CoffeeScript: Design Patterns for the New JavaScript

Friday, 11:10 - 12:00
Track: Web

CoffeeScript is a relatively small and simple language. At its core, it's just JavaScript. Because its types and semantics are the same, you can use CoffeeScript with any JS library. But a little syntactic sugar goes a long way. Find out how this little language could dramatically change the way you write code.

Prerequisites

Any programmer should be able to follow this talk.
