What you need for this book
All you need for this book is a text editor and a working CoffeeScript compiler, and don't worry about the compiler—we'll cover installation and use of that tool in the first chapter! We provide instructions for using the tools on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. We'll be spending a lot of the book working on a client-side web application, so if you have any favorite development tools, feel free to bring those along. You'll also need a modern browser. The most recent version of Firefox or Chrome is ideal, but any other up-to-date browser such as Safari, Opera, or a recent Internet Explorer will also work fine.
