How can I properly use jQuery and CoffeeScript? All of the examples that I have seen thus far compile the CofeeScript at runtime in the browser; this is not ideal. Normally, I'd simply write in plain old JavaScript, but I think CoffeeScript can allow me do get more done with less code, once I know how to get started. I've worked with JQuery before, but I've not used CoffeeScript. I'm not sure where to get started? Should I place $(document).ready in my external CofeeScript/Javascript?

CoffeeScript is a lightweight language that compiles into JavaScript. It provides simple and easy-to-learn syntax avoiding the complex syntax of JavaScript. CoffeeScript is influenced by JavaScript, Ruby, YAML, Haskell, Perl, Python and has influenced MoonScript, LiveScript, and JavaScript.
You simple need to add a <script type="text/coffeescript" src="app. coffee"></script> to execute coffee script code in an HTML file. In other cases, I've seen people use the attributes of type="coffeescript" and type="coffee" , so they might work for you as well. Save this answer.
Just have to put the jquery code after $ ->
Here is a small article about it, and if you are starting The Little Book on CoffeeScript is quite useful, it's very clear and goes from scratch
