PragProg CoffeeScript Book Released

Well, that's one hell of a way to find out about what a college acquaintance has been up to for the past year or so.<p>Congrats, Trevor!

Trevor won me as a customer when he personally answered and solved my coffeescript problem on stackoverflow.

I'm the author.<p>Writing about CoffeeScript has been a great experience. I'll continue to spread the word about the language with articles, conference talks, and perhaps screencasts—stay tuned.<p>It's worth mentioning that this is also the first book in print to offer substantial coverage of Node.js. I'm pretty happy about that. It's really, really cool to be able to write both the front and back ends of an app in the same language.

I pre-ordered at Amazon quite awhile ago. Three days ago they changed the estimated arrival date from 10/5-8 to 9/7-12. If the book is actually being released tomorrow then hopefully Amazon will update the date again.. it would be sad if I had to wait six more weeks.

Anybody else really bothered by this?<p><pre><code> CoffeeScript is JavaScript done right. </code></pre> Does CoffeeScript somehow fixes all the quirks of the javascript language that we've grown s/to love/with?

Just ordered it because I used coffeescript on a project with good results. But by the time I get it, read it, and write a review on Hacker news this post will no longer be on the front page. :'-( sad

Congrats Trevor!
