Our first Ember.js app has shipped
Inspiring talks at RailsConf earlier this year prompted me to start looking beyond Rails to the single-page javascript application style that is all the rage these days.
I’m thrilled to have just shipped my first Ember.js app.
Mindlist a facile project that I originally built with Ruby on Rails in a matter of minutes, while sitting in the courtyard of the Dalhousie University library courtyard with a friend, working collaboratively on a zine/chapbook of generative poetry.
It struck me as a good candidate for a few first simple steps into the world of Ember.js
Simple as the project is, what took a few minutes in Rails took a few days of fiddling with Ember and Rails; I find building an actual project far better for learning than following through with demo projects, and this was no exception, there were a few curveballs that really hung me up, and figuring them out provided some good initial windows into how Ember.js works.
This is the little application here:
If you use it to generate your own chapbook of generative poetry, or whatever other fun you might have with it, feel free to send it along!
