Getting started with ember.js / EmberjS

So let's scratch all of that SproutCore stuff I just told you. Okay no, don't scratch it - the basic principles are still the same. As I did a little more research on SproutCore tutorials, I've discovered that the new Ember.js framework is actually the former known "SproutCore 2.0". Although it changed some core characteristics in it's structure and usage, it took the best from SC and brought it into a more HTML5 developement friendly enviroment.

And since this is more of the path I'd like to walk on, lets switch directly to Ember.js. In this article I'll show you the ember.js starter kit and how to use it to get your first ember app up and running.

Let's start trough!

A few weeks ago my iMac harddrive broke, wich forced me to delay upcoming articles. Anyway, just before that happened, I got a little deeper into SproutCore research, wich lead me to an exciting and oh so similar framework called Ember.js. The similarity has an actual reason, since Ember.js originated from what was once named "SproutCore 2.0". 

So as a quick update I'd like to inform you that I'm already in editorial for some new articles wich will switch directly from SproutCore to Ember.js, since it fits my needs and interests a little more. Of course you don't have to forget about what we have learned so far - we'll need all the basics and principles we learned in our SproutCore article before.

Another thing you may have noticed is the removal of the commenting section beneath the articles. Also the contact form is missing. This is the result of recent increasing spam bot attacks to my website, wich used the comments section and the mailing formulas to spread spam all over the web from within my website. That forced me to take some action and consider some security precautions to maybe bring back these features in a safer way sometime.

So stay tuned for updates and feel free to contact me via Twitter, Facebook, GooglePlus or E-Mail if you have questions. Oh, and thank you for your attention of course :)

 SproutCore - Part I: Basic Principles

As HTML5 and modern WebApp developement keeps on turning heads in the web, more and more designers and developers are looking for ways to dive into it. And since I'm one of those people myself, I want to let others take part of my learning progress.

In my case I chose SproutCore as my framework of choice to dive into modern web developement. Not only is SC a perfect tool to deliver cross-plattform user experiences with very little effort, it also takes a whole new approach of web developement under the usage of HTML5 standards.

Interested in taking a closer look at SproutCore with me?
Well, let's get it on then!
