How to get started
I assume you are using Linux, OSX or any compatitible operating system. If you are using Windows, you can stop reading now.
Get the source $ git clone https://github.com/joonask/skeletor.git
Setup web server root to point public/
Start compilers:
$ cd scripts
# Coffeescript compiler:
$ ./jitter.sh
# Sass compiler:
$ .sass-watcher.sh
Now you are ready to learn CoffeeScript. Point your web browser to http://you-decide-the-host/dev.html
Now start making changes to CoffeeScript/SASS files and you should see something happening in compiler.
Building an app with r.js optimizer
To build application to one javascript file. By default scripts/build.sh should work. It contains an example command to build require.js project.
$ cd scripts
$ ./build.sh
Now you can try if it worked by opening http://you-decide-the-host/index.html
See, index.html loads the built file created by r.js which is meant to use in production and dev.html is for developing.
