After porting the ActionScript based application Cafe Townsend to JavaScript by using Spine and Angular here is another Spine example, now running on Rails. Like all the previous examples the JavaScript code is written in CoffeeScript.

Here is an another demo of a Cafe Townsend app using AngularJS and Rails. All JavaScript code is written in CoffeeScript, the CSS code using Sass. That’s just fun-fun-fun!
For a better understanding of Spine.js I have build a port of the Cafe Townsend app, which is a standard for demonstrating ActionScript based MVC frameworks (e.g. Swiz or Mate).
The JavaScript port is written in CoffeeScript using Spine.js and Hem. It uses Eco for templating HTML and Stylus for less CSS.
These days I’m playing around with Node.js and Socket.IO. One of my goal was to push (binary) image data to clients (browser) in real time using WebSockets.
After deciding to port an ActionScript Cafe Townsend example into JavaScript the first step was to build a simple login example.
It is built with Node.js (Express) on server-side and it uses Eco templates to render views on client-side. Most of code is written in CoffeeScript.
It’s a good idea to run Node.js using the latest (stable) version. However, there might be some reasons to downgrade Node.js to a previous version. In my case I needed an older version to test and deploy a simple web app to Heroku (where Node.js v.0.4.7 is running, not the latest v.0.6.5).
