Marionette: Uncaught ReferenceError

I'm studying Backbone with Marionette and Rails as backend, using screencast and I got stuck with this error: 

Uncaught ReferenceError: FooterApp is not defined

My app.js.coffee code:

@Demo = do (Backbone, Marionette) ->

    App = new Backbone.Marionette.Application

    App.addRegions
        headerRegion: "#header-region"
        mainRegion: "#main-region"
        footerRegion: "#footer-region"

    App.addInitializer ->
        App.module("FooterApp").start()
        #App.execute "footer:show"

    App.on "initialize:after", ->
        if Backbone.history
            Backbone.history.start()

    App

footer_app.js.coffee

@Demo.module "FooterApp", (FooterApp, App, Backbone, Marionette, $, _) ->
  @startWithParent = false

    API = 
        showFooter: ->
            FooterApp.Show.Controller.showFooter()

    FooterApp.on "start", ->
        API.showFooter()

and show_controller.js.coffee

@Demo.module "FooterApp.Show", (Show, App, Backbone, Marionette, $, _) ->

    Show.Controller = 

        showFooter: ->
            console.log 'test'

I spent a lot of time figuring out what is wrong but still have no clue..

In your code you haven't initialized your controller at any point, it should read a bit more like this

API = 
    showFooter: ->
        new FooterApp.Show.Controller

and then in your Footer controller you can have an initialize function that would show it

initialize: ->
    console.log 'test'
