How I learned to <3 Ember
HI!
I'm Ju !
You can find me as @arkh4m
I'm Italian !
MAMMA BUTTA LA PASTA
I live in London !
None
I work at AlphaSights We're in London and New York
And we're huuuge Ruby & Ember fans
I'm addicted to rock climbing!
None
BUSINESS TIME
I'm here to tell a story
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
I was a PhD student working on packet filtering in
high speed networks
Friend: "Hey, wanna join our Rails shop?"
Me: "OK"
PROBLEM
I knew nothing about web development.
So I started studying Ruby
But that wasn't enough, so I studied Rails
But that wasn't enough, so I studied OOP
But that wasn't enough, so I studied TDD
And I was happy
I was really enjoying myself doing what every backend Ruby
developer loves to do
BUT THEN CAME THE JAVASCRIPT
So I learned jQuery
Then I learned KnockoutJS
Then I learned BackboneJS
Then I learned MarionetteJS
Then I learned BatmanJS
Then I learned AngularJS
But I still wasn't happy
None
A9. The most advanced chip ever The most vivid Retina
display ever TouchID faster and better than ever 3D Touch lets you do more than ever The most powerful 4-inch phone ever IOS 9 is smarter and more essential than ever The 27-inch iMac is faster and more powerful than ever
When everything is revolutionary, probably nothing really is — Albert
Einstein
I was pretty deep into The Pit of JavaScript Disillusionment
But I had my Ruby, my OOP and my TDD
So everything was good!
But one day..
We're going to rebuild this Rails app in Ember!
Initially I wasn't really excited
None
But then I start poking around...
"This looks nice and familiar..."
15 minutes later...
None
Even though I thought I knew Rails and JS, Ember
looked like something completely different
And I wasn't a huge fan because it was doing
too many things
KISS
Keep It Simple, Stupid
Simple is better than complex — The Zen of Python
Write programs that do one thing and do it well
— Doug McIlroy
Why do you have to go and make things so
complicated? — Avril Lavigne
2 years later...
Now I love Ember :)
I can do everything!
So what changed?
The Gmail Test
I have to rebuild Gmail. How would I do it?
None
I couldn't figure out a way to do it by
keeping it simple...
Simple is better than complex — The Zen of Python
But complex is better than complicated — The Zen of
Python
None
An ambitious application solves a real problem
And as we know, reality is full of complexity
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not
simpler — Albert Einstein
So I stopped using 'simplicity' as an excuse :)
Also, I found out why I wasn't enjoying myself in
JS
It wasn't the syntax
It wasn't handling state
It wasn't handling async
But the revolution at any cost mindset
HYPE FATIGUE
None
Second System Syndrome
We need to rebuild this from scratch
It's going to be easier, faster, more expressive
But it's not gonna be backwards compatible
→ Perl 5 -> Perl 6
→ Python 2 -> Python 3
→ Angular 1 -> Angular 2
Intelligent design
I have the perfect plan, now let's build it
None
Natura non facit saltus — Linnaeus, 1751
Stability Without Stagnation
Eventually all the good ideas will end up in Ember
— wycats
When I was learning Ember, I was learning a piece
of software.
But the truth is, there are many pieces of software
around.
This is my framework. There are many like it, but
this one is mine. — Full Metal Jacket
But what I learned to love is much more than
a frame of work
It's a frame of mind
It's having a truly open source process
It's valuing backwards compatibility
It's building inclusive communities
It's embracing continuous mutation over short lived revolutions
Don't be a JS Creationist Learn to love Ember!
Thank you! ! @arkh4m engineering.alphasights.com
