1. EMBER-CLI THE COMMAND LINE INTERFACE FOR AMBITIOUS WEB APPLICATIONS Charles Demers, OpenCode XXIII
2. “Ember CLI is an Ember.js command line utility which provides a fast asset pipeline powered by broccoli and strong conventional project structure.” — ember-cli.com WHAT’S EMBER-CLI
3. WHAT’S INCLUDED • Asset pipeline • Generators • Testing setup • and more…
4. LET’S TAKE A STEP BACK… ember-cli is possible because Ember itself builds on the “Convention over configuration” philosophy. Strong conventions enable the community to build tools to get rid of trivial or repetitive tasks. ember-cli gives you a conventional way of building and including those tools in your app: addons.

6. ASSET PIPELINE • Easily extendable to support your language/preprocessor of choice via addons. • Transpilation, concatenation, minification and fingerprinting are
 all built-in. • Environment-specific assets are possible with configuration. • Building outputs a bundle you can deploy. • Built-in server recompiles and live-reloads assets, it can also proxy
 API requests.
7. GENERATORS • Built-in generators include basically every Ember entity you need to build and test an app. • You can create your own generators via addons. • There is even a generator to build addons!
8. TESTING SETUP • Setup includes unit and acceptance tests. • Comes pre-bundled with QUnit
 (can be swapped for something else). • Can be run very easily with PhantomJS on the command line for CI or in the browser.
