Getting Groovy with CoffeeScript

Category: Web Development / Tag: coffeescript, grails, groovy / Add Comment

Have you used CoffeeScript yet? I just started playing with it and so far I think it’s great! In this screencast, I walk through how to use CoffeeScript in a Grails 2.0 application by building a simple “continuous-scrolling” page. Please let me know in the comments if you find the screen-cast valuable or not!

The source-code for this screencast is available on GitHub: https://github.com/bobbywarner/grails-coffeescript-demo

This screencast was inspired by Ryan Bates’ RailsCasts Episode #114. I borrowed some of his excellent CoffeeScript example code.

    Amazingly simple and to the point … I’m surely going to try coffee script in my current project.

    Note you are mistaken about the coffeescript-resources plugin being “specifically designed to work with the resources framework”. However the plugin author intends to make it so in the future (see https://github.com/edvinasbartkus/grails-coffeescript-resources/issues/5).

    Very clear, and useful. Loved it, despite the pronunciation of “pagination”. spacer

    @Eric Yea, that was my bad. I just didn’t feel like taking the time to edit or re-record because of it though, ha! Glad you liked the video anyway! spacer

    Very clear, no mysteries, succinct and useful. Well done! (And motivational, the coffeescript really is easier to read) Thanks!
