Living in a Component World

You have probably heard by now that Components are the way forward in Ember. Component all the things! Routeable Components haven't landed yet, and in the meantime you want to make sure you're building things the right way.

This talk will focus on using Components as the major building blocks in your application. We'll discuss Data Down/Actions Up, how to handle parent/child components, yielding, closure actions, and helpers using some test-driven examples to guide the way.
