Yehuda Katz Ember, an SDK for the Web. a.k.a the MacGyver of code
6. Ember, an SDK for the Web. MOBILE WEB APPS CONSIDERED HARMFUL? ▸ Size Matters, sort of...the root issue is not that our web apps are < 650K, but that offline availability, load time (initial & subsequent) and render performance are poor. ▸ A Native-like experience and fast load times are the goal and Ember is attacking these problem on multiple fronts ▸ Fastboot - 1.0 lands in Ember 2.7 (beta available at www.ember-fastboot.com) ▸ Ember Engines - Progressively load apps ▸ ES6 modules & Svelte builds - only include the modules the app requires ▸ Service Workers & Application Cache - enable offline & push notifications, Like ES6, Ember is again betting on the future and relying on what's available now. AppCache is available 
 on 91% of browsers. Glimmer 2

7. LESSONS LEARNED CONFERENCE TAKE AWAYS
8. Take Aways and Lessons Learned. EMBER REALLY IS THE CURE TO HYPE FATIGUE ▸ There seems to be no question that Ember will soon reach that mythical plateau of quiet productivity. ▸ As a community, we are no longer playing catch up; in many ways Ember is helping shape the frontend revolution. ▸ EmberCLI is now the default way to build Ember apps ▸ Both React and Angular are building CLIs on top of EmberCLI ▸ RFC Process & LTS Release Channels continue to ensure stability without stagnation. ▸ The Core Team & newly formalized SubTeams (Data, CLI, Learning) provide dependable and consistent Code & Community oversight We are helping set the standard for the way frontend web apps are built with projects like ▸ Ember Inspector (nearly 71K installs) ▸ Ember Twiddle ▸ Ember Observer ▸ Smoke & Mirrors ▸ Ember Concurrency
9. IF COMMUNITY WAS A FEATURE, WE'D WIN. We have a vibrant and growing community of incredibly smart men and women all working together to make Ember and the web better... and having a good time along the way!
