+CoffeeScript
+============
+
+This folder contains the CoffeeScript file that will be compiled to the static
+directory. By default, we're compile and merge all the files ending `.coffee`
+into `static/js/application.js`.
+
+Install the Compiler
+--------------------
+
+CoffeeScript compiler are written in JavaScript. You'll need to install Node and
+npm (Node Package Manager) to be able to install the CoffeeScript compiler.
+
+### Mac OS X
+
+Install Node via Homebrew, then use npm:
+
+    brew install node
+    curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
+    npm install -g git://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script.git
+
+(Note that we're using the edge version of CoffeeScript for now, as there was
+some issue with directory watching in 1.3.1.)
+
+Try to run `coffee` and make sure you get a coffee prompt.
+
+### Debian/Ubuntu
+
+Conveniently, you can install Node via `apt-get`, then use npm:
+
+    sudo apt-get install nodejs npm &&
+    sudo npm install -g git://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script.git
+
+Compiling
+---------
+
+Run this command in the `mitx` directory to easily make the compiler watch for
+changes in your file, and join the result into `application.js`:
+
+    coffee -j static/js/application.js -cw templates/coffee/src
+
+Please note that the compiler will not be able to detect the file that get added
+after you've ran the command, so you'll need to restart the compiler if there's
+a new CoffeeScript file.
+
+Testing
+=======
+
+We're also using Jasmine to unit-testing the JavaScript files. All the specs are
+written in CoffeeScript for the consistency. Because of the limitation of
+`django-jasmine` plugin, we'll need to also running another compiler to compile
+the test file.
+
+Using this command to compile the test files:
+
+    coffee -cw templates/coffee/spec/*.coffee
+
+Then start the server in debug mode, navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/_jasmine
+to see the test result.
