Technical level:
Intermediate
Session type:
Demo
To introduce CoffeeScript, which is a cleaner way to write JavaScript and to show how CoffeeScript could be a better choice to write JavaScript-heavy applications.
Outline
“CoffeeScript is well done and more convenient to use than JavaScript .” - Brendan Eich, inventor of JavaScript.
This talk is going to be as much about JavaScript as much as CoffeeScript because CoffeeScript is really just JavaScript. Its just a nicer way to use JavaScript.
I will be focusing on how
-
CoffeeScript hides JavaScript’s flaws and focuses on the good parts of JavaScript.
-
CoffeeScript introduces its own set of features that are derived from common patterns in JavaScript.
-
CoffeeScript has class and introduces a nicer OOP model to JavaScript.
Even if you don’t plan to use CoffeeScript, you should swing by, since CS attempts to draw a different perspective of JavaScript. A nicer perspective.
Requirements
An open mind : )
