Quick Links - May 16 2013 Interesting JavaScript Trick

Hey All,

Just one quick link for the day but it's a neat one.  Didn't realize this was possible in JavaScript.  The title doesn't really describe the article, basically it's a way to convert a comment to code:

• Multi-line strings in JavaScript and Node.js

Cool stuff indeed.  Hoping to get a few more posts up in the next little bit, working on a side project right now that is taking up most of my time but with a long weekend coming up maybe some time will free itself up.

Enjoy

A couple of free on-line Coffeescript books:

• The Little Book on CoffeeScript
• CoffeeScript Ristretto Online

The first has a new updated paid version available but it's still very usefull as a simple introduction or quick reference.  The second is longer and more in depth from a conceptual perspective.  Both worth a read.

A couple of good reads:

• Node.js Source Map Support for Better Compiled JavaScript Debugging
• Writing Fast, Memory-Efficient JavaScript

The first is more info about source maps as dicsussed in my earlier post.  The second is a good write up on how to write optimized javascript.

Along the lines of javascript and more specifically node.js, I"m hoping to have a post up later in the week about promises in node and how they can help get you out of call back hell.
