ASP.NET MVC 3 and CoffeeScript, Sass, and Less

You have to download the Web Workbench Visual Studio 2010 Plugin that allows you to use CoffeeScript, Sass, and Less in your ASP.NET MVC Web Applications!

Web Workbench automatically compiles your CoffeeScript Files to JavaScript and your Sass files to CSS. It provides syntax highlighting for all and intellisense for Sass and Less!

Since Orchard CMS is built on ASP.NET MVC 3, you can use CoffeeScript, Sass and Less in your Orchard Development as well. See CoffeeScript and Orchard CMS Module Development.

If you are interested in a book on CoffeeScript, a new book was just released from Pragmatic Programmers, called CoffeeScript: Accelerated JavaScript Development.

Web Workbench has been added under Tools in the list of ASP.NET MVC 3 Tutorials and Resources.

Download Web Workbench here.
