A Sip of CoffeeScript
If you enjoy writing JavaScript then you’ll really enjoy CoffeeScript, a new language which transcompiles into JavaScript. Inspired by languages like Ruby, Python, and Haskell, it allows you to write less code to get more done. In this course students will learn the basics of CoffeeScript using the Code School in-browser challenge engine. In this course will cover the following topics:
- Variables, functions, & the command line
- Converting jQuery into CoffeeScript
- Conditionals, operators, & comparisons
- Arrays, objects, iteration, & list comprehension
- More advanced jQuery into CoffeeScript
- Object orientation, inheritance, fat arrow, & encapsulation
If you write any JavaScript as a developer, you may learn to love CoffeeScript.

There seems to be a typo in the first sentence of the workshop description, which says that “CoffeeScript … transcompiles into CoffeeScript”. It should say that it transcompiles into JavaScript, right? :-)
@Zenil – this is a workshop, so your registration package has to include the Tuesday Workshops portion to attend (you would have been asked to select the workshops you wanted to attend during the registration process). If you did not select this workshop, please email confreg@oreilly.com to change your workshop selection(s). Hope that helps!
I don’t see wording like that but.. from my POV, if you have a ticket that includes workshops, you can go to the workshop :-) It’s possible to mark sessions as ones you plan to attend but I don’t think it’s mandatory – it’s just to help get a feel for attendance numbers.
If you have a ticket that covers workshops, just turn up and it’ll all get sorted out for you :-)
What does “Registration option ” mean ? How do you register for this session ?
