Off the top of my head, a UX team needs to collectively have the following talents. No one person will know all of these, nor would I expect someone who is learning something in the Advanced category to have fully mastered everything above. Paths vary.

Prerequisites

• Writing and rhetoric, including constructing a thesis, providing supporting evidence, and tailoring your delivery to your audience

Intro

Enough to poke at things and learn more

• Visual page construction
• HTML

I had some trouble getting Ember-CLI and Ember-Data working with my existing HTTP API. These are the things I had to do to get it working:

Use ActiveModelSerializer by default

My API returns underscored_keys, not camelizedKeys. It's not exactly the standard ActiveModel, but it's quite similar. I started by defining a default (application) serializer that's a simple subclass of DS.ActiveModelSerializer:

// app/serializers/application.js
import DS from "ember-data";

I love GitHub's Merge Button™... except that it creates a commit with my personal email address even on my work projects. (Or, conversely, that is uses my work email on my personal projects.)

My solution is to create a git-merge-button and add it to my path:

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
  echo "Usage: git merge-and-clean-up [branch-name] [pull number]"
 exit 1

I just signed another year lease on my apartment, so I figured if I have another year here, I might as well try to improve my Internet service and/or price. I really dislike how my current provider, Comcast, is opposing Net Neutrality, so I looked around for altneratives. Nope, still just Comcast and AT&T. Monopolies :(

So I went to comcast.com. Ooh, neat! They have a promotion on Internet that would cut my rate way down. I signed in. "This is a business address. For business service, call us or enter another address." I clicked "enter another address," hoping they just had my address wrong. That link takes me back to ""This is a business address. For business service, call us or enter another address." So much for a usable website.

OK, fine, I'll call. After a couple minutes of playing verbal and key-based phone tree, I get a very nice customer service agent. I ask him what plans are available in my region. He looks for a minute and says, "We have a promotion to add voice, give you the same Internet servic

What is the expected behavior of the following code?

var Superclass = Ember.Object.extend({
  logOnInit: function() {

In Ember 0.9, we had properties that looked like

age: function() {
  return this.get('createdAt') - new Date();
}.property('createdAt').volatile()

The .property('createdAt') means, "recompute this every time createdAt changes".
