Hey Team,
Here's a collection of thoughts I put together on building a SPA with Ember.js.
Why Ember.js
I looked at many frameworks when choosing what one to use with Marconi Browser. Based on my experience on Reach, Backbone (and Spine) were out due to their lack of support for two-way view binding. Knockout was out because it's a partial solution - it only provides a binding solution. There's a handful of others (Knockback, Batman, CanJS), but they seem to have lost momentum over the last year or two. In my eyes, the two big modern webapp frameworks are Ember.js and AngularJS. Here's why I went with Ember:
- One
- Two
- Three
How does it work?

- Promise-Based Interface
- Where are the event listeners? (Promise-based Interface)
- Run Loop/Deferred Updates
- Magic by default, DI under the hood
- RequireJS
- Testing
- Was it fun?
