What To Expect
Beginner Track
Carbon Five developer Arbind Thakur has created a self-paced tutorial, "The Essence of CoffeeScript". We'll have people floating around to help out should you get stuck.
Advanced Track
Since this is our first meeting we're intentionally leaving it a little unstructured. While we are presenting lightning talks we'd like to foster an environment for discourse so consider the talks as possible entry points into discussion about CoffeeScript related topics. If you'd like to present a lightning talk just let me know.
Agenda:
Lightning talks begin at 6:30
Michael Wynholds: Why CoffeeScript?
Dan Yoder: Why this meetup?
Unstructured discussion/whatever time…
RSVP
We have limited space. You're required to RSVP.
Leave a comment about what you're working on, any CoffeeScript projects you may be bringing with you, etc. so others can see what you're up to.
Parking
I usually park on Wilshire and walk.
ParkMe (http://www.parkme.com/map/?lat=34.019087&lng=-118.49774500000001&zoom=16) has more parking information.
IRC
We have an IRC (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2rGTXHvPCQ) channel. "It's how hackers talk when they don't want to be overheard"
IRC: #coffeescriptla on Freenode (http://webchat.freenode.net/)
