Hey all,
This isn't specifically Ruby-related, but I figured a cross-post was
probably in good taste given how much Rails <3 CoffeeScript. I recently
had my first ever technical book published. Exciting! It's called
[1]CoffeeScript Application Development, and I bet you can guess what
it's about!
I worked hard to accomplish two things with the book: 1) an
introduction to all the important features of CoffeeScript, and 2)
examples of how to use them most effectively in a full application. In
my opinion #2 is the standout feature - there are plenty of
introductions out there to CoffeeScript syntax, but I want to teach
people how to make the most of it when confronted with the real-life
problems that you will encounter in your real-life work.
If this sounds interesting to you, or if you can think of someone else
in your life who you want to get hooked on CoffeeScript, I'd encourage
you to check it out! It's mostly focused on front-end CS, but has a
couple chapters on Node as well. It's aimed towards developers with
some JS but little CS experience, but should have some good stuff for
the more advanced folks too (source maps! async! asset pipelines in
Rails, Brunch, and Node!).
Right now, there are a couple good ways to get your hands on a copy for
cheap:
* The ebook is $5 if you [2]buy it from the publisher between now and
Jan 3rd
* You can get 15% off either the ebook or the print edition at any
time [3]from the publisher with these discount codes: 2QfknZ (book)
and cVqzM4 (ebook)
* Or [4]follow me on Twitter, where at some point (probably
mid-January) I'll do a promotion to give away a few copies.
* Or just [5]buy it on Amazon, at whatever price Amazon feels like
charging today
Enjoy the holidays, enjoy the book, and enjoy the last days of 2013,
which are going to be beautiful if today was any indication!
Ian
