4 Ember.js Resources You Need to Check Out Now

Ember.js is a rock-solid JavaScript framework for building modern web applications, but it does have a steep learning curve. If you’re new to the world of Ember — or even if you just want to learn more or need a little refresh — bookmark this list of Ember.js resources.

1. CBT Nuggets 

CBT offers Ember.js Essentials Online Training, an intermediate course that will show you how to build scalable single-page web apps that run smoothly and reliably. Topics include how to: 

• Install and run the Ember CLI

• Navigate the Ember framework, terminology and concepts

• Test your application inside Ember’s test harness

• Create Ember add-ons and nesting your UI

• Build complex applications that are actually smaller, composed apps 

CBT Nuggets differs from many software engineering education websites which teach Ember.js through the lens of computer science. While computer sciences are essential, creating web applications for production works a bit differently. CBT Nuggets will teach you how to make an Ember.js application, while considering the entire IT stack. Watch the first video for free now. 

2. Ember API Resources

Don’t overlook the value of the official Ember API documentation, which offers a library of often-searched terms and explanations on how to use various API references. 

These documents are an extension of the engineers behind Ember, too. They explain how the Ember engineers expect each component in Ember to be used. Following those best practices can help you avoid headaches later. 

3. Stack Overflow

Stack Overflow, a coding question and answer platform for programmers, is an excellent resource and provides the biggest repository for extreme edge-case scenarios. 

 What does that mean? Let’s say you are getting a Host Header error message while trying to open your Ember.js application behind an Nginx reverse proxy that flows through Cloudflare cache, but it works under any other condition. That’s a specific and confusing challenge, but if someone has dealt with a similar issue, there is a good chance you could find a record of it in Stack Overflow. 

4. Pro Ember Data by David Tang

David Tang, author of Data in the Wild, the now retired highly popular book about building advanced apps with Ember released Pro Ember Data: Getting Ember Data to Work with Your API last year. 

Where CBT Nuggets teaches you how to build an Ember.js-powered app from the lens of an IT team, Pro Ember Data builds on those concepts, and also focuses on creating highly advanced, custom APIs within Ember.
