Building Web Apps with Ember.js: Write Ambitious JavaScript

by Jesse Cravens, Thomas Q Brady

Single-page applications are spreading rapidly. This book provides a number of example applications, and covers some of the more confusing, and under-documented aspects of Ember.js such as: Using Ember Data, Handlebars Integration, and Testing. A full stack example with end to end unit and integration tests will use Ruby On Rails as the server side web framework and the latest in client-side build, package management, taking readers all the way from theory to an example of a 'production-ready' application.

It was an ok book to introduce me to this framework. The author explains very well every syntax used in his examples. He displays some common errors and good tips about those presented features. Although, it takes too much time to introduce to intermediate/advanced concepts. The author keeps explaining things a little out of the context and postpones the real teaching of the framework's essentials to later chapters. Nevertheless this is a good book, but if you come from Angular or other frameworks you can skip it and just do a couple of tutorials that ember.js web site presents to you.

A useful introduction to Ember applications and the ecosystem of tool options. Efficiently written at a slim 150 pages while managing to cover the construction a realistic application. Especially appreciated the component example that used a d3 visualization. Recommended for the Ember beginner but someone who is competent in javascript and web apps in general.
