CoffeeScript Application Development Cookbook
CoffeeScript is a JavaScript compiler. CoffeeScript brings many things to the table that are lacking in JavaScript itself. This includes a class and module system, a syntax that is cleaner, less terse, and well structured, and list comprehensions that make working with collections of data more enjoyable. CoffeeScript can be used as not only a tool for the Web, but also as a tool for day-to-day dev-ops type tasks (for example, file processing, working with databases, and more).
This practical guide contains a wide range of recipes demonstrating how CoffeeScript can be used while developing the entire stack of an application. With recipes that range from easy and intermediate to advanced, there is something here for anyone looking to escape the common pitfalls of JavaScript and develop in a clean and expressive language.
We begin by first considering why you should use CoffeeScript, and then move on to demonstratinghow CoffeeScript can be used to create user interfaces and backend services, deal with external services, test, and deploy our applications.
Some of the libraries and platforms we will be working with include Node.js, jQuery, Backbone, AngularJS, Kendo.UI, Socket.io, MongoDB, Redis, SQLite, Twil.io, DropBox, and S3, as well as testing with Jasmine, Zombie, Mocha, and Chai.
This book is packed with helpful and engaging recipes to make your life easier.

Awesome way to show this extension of JavaScript, making it completely powerful for applications of all kinds.
The book begins by teaching the language and syntax of CoffeeScript, with basic and powerful examples.
Then, little by little it is becoming more and more complex: Client Applications with JQuery, Backbone and angularjs, followed by desktop applications, connections to databases such as SQLite and MongoDB. Besides showing the construction of REST services.
I stood with my mouth open when it shows the simplicity to send emails, and access services such as Amazon S3 and FTP in a natural way.
Organizing chapter is like a recipe: Introduction, Getting Ready, How to do it, How it works, There's more. And it covers the basics, what is important, and all the extra things you can do.
Cherry ice cream were the commands to DevOps well, no one can escape to implement CoffeeScript production.
