title: Does the '@' symbol have special meaning in Javascript, Coffeescript or Jquery?
body: <p>I have some code that looks like</p>
  <pre><code>self = @
  </code></pre>
  <p>and then later on it's using <code>@someMethodName</code> or <code>self.someMethodName</code></p>
  <p>Does <code>@</code> have some special meaning?</p>
