The sc-init and sc-server are Sproutcore 1.X. Sproutcore 2.X (now Amber, what we're discussing here) works exactly like you'd want: <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

The first few chapters are very dry. When I recommend this to people I normally tell them to skim the first chapters and skip forward if they're getting bored. If you hold out to at least chapter 6, I'm sure you'll find something worthwhile
