Having spent the vast majority of my career in the front-end space, there has always been a thirst for better processes and management of resources. For those who have long histories with HTML and CSS, you remember the days of keeping folders of code snippets, our personal library of sorts, the cool code we wrote and wanted to have at the ready for our next project.

Sure there were desktop apps that tried to manage this for us, journler was my tool of choice back in those days. I have also seen some use Google Docs and other document and snippet managers, but they never really worked. And let us never forget all those really crappy websites that were supposed to be our saving grace. In the end, managing assets on the front-end has been nothing but a total fail.

Life meets Ruby, boy meets Git

When I began working with a Rails team, I was introduced to better solutions for managing libraries of reusable front-end code. Not to mention, this was my first exposure to Git and Github

	import Ember from 'ember';

	export default Ember.Controller.extend({
	appName: 'Ember Twiddle'
	});

	import Ember from 'ember';

	export default Ember.Controller.extend({
	appName: 'Ember SpinJs'
	});

	/* global google */
	var GoogleMapComponent = Ember.Component.extend({
	places: [],
	width: 500,
	height: 500,

	attributeBindings: ['style'],

	style: function () {
	return 'width:'+this.width+'px; height:'+this.height+'px';
