This is a brain dump of my experience trying to get something going with Ember.js. My goal was to get to know the ins and outs of the framework by completing a pretty well defined task that I had lots of domain knowledge about. In this case reproducing a simple Yammer feed. As of this time, I have not been able to complete that task. So this is a subjective rundown of the things I think make it difficult to get a handle on Ember. NOTE: My comments are addressing the Ember team and giving suggestions on what they could do to improve the situation.

App setup

The new guides have pretty good explanation of the various parts of the framework; routers, models, templates, views. But it's not clear how they all get strapped together to make something that works. There are snippets of examples all over the place like:

App.Router.map(function() {
  match('/home').to('home');
});

# Shortcut interface to rbenv to quickly pick & switch between Ruby versions.
# Usage:
#   rb <version> [19]
#   rb <version> [19] <command>...
#   rb

# A version specifier can be a partial string which will be matched against
# available versions and the last match will be picked. The optional "19"
# argument switches JRuby or Rubinius to 1.9 mode.

UPDATE: Please see some of the forks for an updated version of this guide. I
myself have moved onto the Rails 3.1 betas to get the asset pipeline. But if
you want to stay on stable there are other folks who are keeping this guide
relevant despite the changes constantly occurring on Sprockets 2. The comments
on this gist will lead you to the right forks. :)

Some brief instructions on how to use Sprocket 2 in Rails to get CoffeeScript
powered JS and SASS powered CSS with YUI compression all via the magic of rack.

This stuff will be native in Rails 3.1 and the layout of the files on the
