Question 2 of 30

Are you familiar with the term CoffeeScript, and do you know how it is used in front end web development?

"CoffeeScript is just another version of JavaScript. It is actually a sub-language that compiles code into JavaScript. The benefit of CoffeeScript is that it uses more natural language and less code, and therefore is easier for new programmers to use. Its ease of use and minimal coding requirements has made CoffeeScript very popular since its release in 2009. Other programming languages similar to CoffeeScript include Python and Ruby."

      How to Answer

      One of the benefits of Java is that it is open-source, and anybody can develop code that is Java compatible. This has resulted in a wide array of java libraries, sub-languages, and related techniques. No matter how experienced you are as a front-end developer, it is virtually impossible to know about all of these. As with any question, if you're familiar with the concept, answer the interviewer's question. If not, let them know how you would locate the information and offer to provide them an answer after the interview.
