of Simplicity by John Maeda

meaningful. ” The Laws of Simplicity by John Maeda

“Subviews” in Ember
{{view Warble.VolumeControlView}} control_view.hbs Warble.JukeboxController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({ volumeChanged: function(e) {}
}); jukebox_controller.coffee
{{view Warble.VolumeControlView}} Warble.JukeboxController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({ volumeChanged: function(e) {} });
{{view Warble.VolumeControlView}} Warble.JukeboxController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({ volumeChanged: function(e) {} });
1. Specify a Subview (2. Customize)
Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful.
