For a while now I’ve been working with the Ember.JS framework. It’s been a real pleasure (for the most part) and I think it’s got a fantastic community around it. I’m very excited as the team, and yours truly, work to bring the product to version 1.0. In efforts to help new users adopt this framework, I’ve written a fairly-extensive guide on how to build up an Ember application from scratch using the latest patterns and opinions. I hope to get it merged into the Ember documentation site, but we’ll see how it goes on that front. This guide can be found at my GitHub fork of the Ember documentation website in the routing primer documentation.

There has recently been some discussion about how hard or easy it is to get started with [Ember][Ember]. I’ve been using Ember for a while, so I don’t think that it’s that hard, personally. But there are a lot of moving pieces. While my Ember-friend Trek is busily preparing getting started guides and the word is getting out, I have updated my Halbert software to have a tag so that you can get started right away. WARNING: This is Ruby-biased. I’m not serving you omakase or anything like that, I just don’t know Node well enough to get something delivered quickly.
