NORFOLK, VIRGINIA — 757rb — I discovered
CoffeeScript during a recent project that Jim Garvin
and I were working on. We knew the app was going to be heavy on the JavaScript,
and that’s how we started – writing straight JavaScript. Even though I
have written JavaScript for years, this time, the JavaScript syntax itself got
in the way. CoffeeScript’s elegant syntax relieved the burden.
I quickly fell so in love with CoffeeScript that I have since sworn off writing
raw JavaScript directly ever again. The goal of this talk is to convince the
audience to try CoffeeScript in hopes that they too will find it as valuable as
I did.

UPDATE (late 2008): I no longer use Remember The Milk as my GTD tool, but I still recommend similar types of conventions that were applied here. I leave this screencast here in hopes that others still find it valuable.
I’m often asked about the conventions I use to Get Things Done with RememberTheMilk.com. I found it a little too difficult to put into words, so I took a stab at this screencast instead.
