# Introduction To CoffeeScript

This month we will be taking a glimpse into CoffeeScript, a little language that compiles into JavaScript, with Adam Holt.

Recently announced as a default in Rails 3.1, we will look at general syntax and usage as well as more complex features such as function binding, splats, array comprehension and destructuring assignments.

Adam (http://adamholt.co.uk) is a Ruby developer at On The Beach, likes hacking around with NoSQL databases, Functional programming languages and

all kinds of shiny new tech!

On The Beach(http://www.onthebeach.co.uk) have kindly offered to sponsor the group this month, so free food will be provided after the talk.

It’s a social meet this month, with a twist, we will be joining forces with MadLab’s Omniversityto spread the joys of Ruby.

Come for talk of Ruby, Rails and other interesting things that may or may not be Ruby related.

Whats happening?

A bit of a different meet this month. This month we are hooking up with long time NWRUGmembers, Ric Roberts and Tekin Suleyman for their new Ruby on Rails Bootcamp course over atMadLab.

It will be a social meet of sorts, but with a chance for the students of the course to come face to face with some experienced ruby developers from the local Ruby community.

Anyone is welcome, whether you are an experienced Ruby developer, a course student or just someone wanting to get into ruby, come along, we’ll have some beers and chat about ruby and other stuff.
