JQuery I can agree with.. but expecting a developer to know Coffescript is laughable (no offense) if you ask me. What is the big deal when it comes out as normal JS in the end anyways? Coffeescript only slims it down in some ways and makes it a bit more rapid for some programmers but others can program normal Javascript just as fast. I know a Javascript developer who was completely hindered by Coffeescript. IMO with all things you should learn the actual language before you bother with a framework and/or library. That means IMO you should probably learn how to do your own requests with JS before you use jQuery to do that request that way you understand how it works can debug a bad situation, you don't want to be that developer who builds something and then doesn't know how it works so when it all comes falling down you have no idea what to do. Or the developer who does something the way the framework implies and then it turns out you did it all wrong and people are calling you bad. I know that doesn't always apply but clients like a developer who actually knows how what they are using works. > With Jasmine + CoffeeScript + jQuery knowledge (and possible another > library like Cucumber) you'll be able to do A LOT, IMO (just because BBD > is so powerful). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
