5. WHY BOTHER?

6. A BRIEF HISTORY
• 2006: jQuery 1.0 is released
• June 2011: First prerelease build of Handlebars & Ember
• May 2013: Handlebars 1.0
• September 2013: Ember 1.0

7. EMBER
• Integrates {{Handlebars}} templates
• Model — View — Controller ViewModel
• Models are extensions or subclasses of the Ember.Object
class
• Focus on complexity, made easier with convention over
configuration

8. EMBER: THE CORE TEAM

9. AN EMBER INCANTATION
• URLs describe the state of your app
• URLs want a Route
• A Route wants data for the model
• A Route sets up a Controller
• A Controller backs a View

10. DEMO
Let’s code a thing

11. SHAREPOINT?
• Reduced to a data & authentication source
• JSOM calls made in your route to get the data for your
models
• Remember: SharePoint Apps are 10% SharePoint, 90%
App.

12. CONCLUSIONS?

13. “It depends.”
– Every SharePoint Person Ever
