5. Recently moved to Barcelona And I am loving it
6. I work for Deveo We take care of enterprise source code
7. Developing software since 2005 from Java to DevOps to Full-stack Web development
8. Mostly backend with Ruby and DevOps
9. I am far from expert Getting into frontend development
10. It’s YOUR TURN What do you do?
11. WHY CLIENT SIDE FRAMEWORK? Backend developers’ perspective
12. Usually the backend is well structured Fat models, skinny controllers, well tested
13. Until it comes to “V” of server-side MVC
14. Frontend gets messy $.paghetti
15. Tom Dale Ember.js Core Team “It’s a massive hack when UI is built on the server miles away”
16. Separation of concerns The solution has been always around
17. Server serves data, client serves UI
18. Employ API driven development Everyone will benefit. Mobiles, partners, peers.
19. Embrace open source Don’t reinvent the wheel. Improve it.
20. OK, WHICH CLIENT SIDE FRAMEWORK? hmm, there are dozens to choose from…
21. Study what’s available Comparison of Angular, Can, Ember, Backbone http://bit.ly/1dlnWRg
22. What really attracted me A framework for creating ambitious web applications
23. And people behind the project
24. Rails, Backbone and Cocoa Inspired by
25. 1.3.1, 38 meetups, 312 contributors, 9K stars Current status
26. Angular.js VS Ember.js This was pretty tough decision
27. Comparable MVC frameworks Bindings, partials, routing. Strong communities.
28. Lot’s of discussions Read through Quora thread and watch NDC cage match http://b.qr.ae/LtQbar bit.ly/KwCKWk
29. It’s personal How do you want to structure your code?
30. Things that helped me make the decision
31. Convention over configuration Very opinionated. Just like Rails.
32. Handlebars templates No DOM clutter. Feels natural after HAML and ERB.
33. No boilerplate code You write much less, but there is a lot of magic.
34. RESTful Works extremely well with nested resources.
35. Oh, have I mentioned Tomster yet ;)
36. It’s YOUR TURN Why have you (not) chosen Ember.js?
