Resources

• Source Code
  Use bin/coffee to test your changes,
  bin/cake test to run the test suite,
  bin/cake build to rebuild the full CoffeeScript compiler, and
  bin/cake build:except-parser to recompile much faster if you’re not editing grammar.coffee.

  git checkout lib && bin/cake build:full is a good command to run when you’re working on the core language. It’ll refresh the lib folder (in case you broke something), build your altered compiler, use that to rebuild itself (a good sanity test) and then run all of the tests. If they pass, there’s a good chance you’ve made a successful change.

• Browser Tests
  Run CoffeeScript’s test suite in your current browser.

• CoffeeScript Issues
  Bug reports, feature proposals, and ideas for changes to the language belong here.

• CoffeeScript Google Group
  If you’d like to ask a question, the mailing list is a good place to get help.

• The CoffeeScript Wiki
  If you’ve ever learned a neat CoffeeScript tip or trick, or ran into a gotcha — share it on the wiki. The wiki also serves as a directory of handy text editor extensions, web framework plugins, and general CoffeeScript build tools.

• The FAQ
  Perhaps your CoffeeScript-related question has been asked before. Check the FAQ first.

• JS2Coffee
  Is a very well done reverse JavaScript-to-CoffeeScript compiler. It’s not going to be perfect (infer what your JavaScript classes are, when you need bound functions, and so on…) — but it’s a great starting point for converting simple scripts.

• High-Rez Logo
  The CoffeeScript logo is available in SVG for use in presentations.
