14. Application Flow http://emberjs.com/guides/object-model/classes-and-instances/ Request A request is sent to the Ember application
15. Application Flow http://emberjs.com/guides/object-model/classes-and-instances/ Route Request The router determines which route to send the request to and the route receives the request and params
16. Application Flow http://emberjs.com/guides/object-model/classes-and-instances/ Model Route Request The route gathers the data from the models, which wrap the data (api calls, etc)
17. Application Flow http://emberjs.com/guides/object-model/classes-and-instances/ Controller Model Route Request The route then places the data on the controller. The controller maintains display-related state.
18. Application Flow http://emberjs.com/guides/object-model/classes-and-instances/ Controller Model Route Template Request And the templates are rendered (having access to the models via the controller)
19. Application Flow http://emberjs.com/guides/object-model/classes-and-instances/ Controller Model Route Template View Request Views are used as a UI abstraction to handle user events (if needed)
20. Application Flow http://emberjs.com/guides/object-model/classes-and-instances/ Controller Model Route Template View Component Request Components can be used in templates to provide a self-contained view, controller and template
