I started learning Ember a few days ago, and this has been my experience. There's a serious lack of up-to-date guides and resources for support out there.
The official guide was decent. It does an amazing job covering everything it attempts to cover. My problem is with the things it doesn't cover. Specifically, I'd like it to be more practical by answering the question: "How do I get started immediately?" That means going into more detail about things like Ember Data, the ember-rails gem and other language/framework-specific details, etc.
Personally, I'd love to see an up-to-date tutorial for setting up a very simple Ember app with Rails or whatever. I find guides like that to be the most effective at getting people up to speed with the necessary basics.
- kaliblack 14y agoI'm in the same boat as you, recently starting to learn Ember. The tutorial that Brian Cardarella created at Dockyard [1] covers creating a simple app and is really good. There are a few other simple tutorials. I'm struggling because all the resources I've found cover single model apps. Anyone know of any more in-depth complex resources?

- kaliblack 14y agoPerfect. That's exactly what I need. Thanks.
- csallen 14y agoThanks for the heads up. I bought it and it was useful. Still, it's woefully incomplete. For example, no coverage of Ember Data, no use of Views, etc. Still, it was a good starting point, and I've been able to figure out most of the rest of it myself.
