Coffeescript tutorials

Does anybody else think it would be good to see some Coffeescript tutorials? It seems to be getting more popular and feels like it's worth investing some time learning, particularly as Javascript MVC frameworks are getting more popular. There are some tutorials out there but they aren't very 'accessible'. It would be nice to see the friendly faces at Treehouse walking us through how to get started, etc.

@Ryan I've actually tried it, but I don't like it as much as Treehouse's courses. So I would expect Treehouse to do a better job with the CoffeeScript course as well. Not to say the CodeSchool class is bad (it's still very good).

Codeschool looks interesting, but I'd rather have it all under one roof (house) (Treehouse). I'm sure Treehouse would too to stop people going elsewhere.
