##About

CoffeeScript port of the famous Cafe Townsend application originally written in ActionScript. For more information check ActionScript and Swiz based example)

If you are a JavaScript Developer: The idea behind the Cafe Townsend project is similar to the TodoMVC project

If you are a ActionScript Developer: I assume you are familiar with Cafe Townsend ;)

##Content The project will cover following topics:

• OOP / MVC and JavaScript using CoffeeScript and Spine

• Embedded CoffeeScript templates using Eco

• Understanding CommonJS Modules

• Using jQuery with CoffeeScript

• Creating expressive CSS with Stylus

• Deploying on Heroku

Please note: Coming from a strong ActionScript background this example is just a personal project for a better understanding of building MVC based web applications using CoffeeScript and Spine. Any tips or improvements are welcome!
