How about we all try them first?

While this attitude is in-line with general hacker values, and is good advice when dealing with simple tools, it is a poor general principle when applied to complex tools with an ecosystem of experts whose opinions you trust. In the case at hand, spending half a day each (or even more) with angular and ember is not enough time to gain a truly informed opinion of either. These are big frameworks with many features, an…

Unless those trusted developers are also experts in both, you're back to square one.

I wish there were more docs/tutorials/examples in the wild. I truly love this outstanding project and I'd like more people to join the ember.js community.

There's also some great work going on with cookbooks that should be released soon. https://github.com/emberjs/website/tree/master/source/guides...

I haven't contributed much to the community or the code, but I've been around the chatrooms and keeping up with the story for around a year now. (also been actively using ember on personal and work projects). The community around Ember is amazing and it blows my mind how so many people have been working so passionately on this project. Congratulations to the team. Really well done.

I said this already on Twitter, but: It’s been 2½ years since I started working on Ember.js. While I’m proud of the code we wrote, I’m even more proud of the community we built. We have been lucky enough to attract the companies and individuals that are tackling the hardest problems in developing 100% JavaScript web applications; people for whom the only acceptable answer is solid engineering, not piles of hacks. As…

Let's not use this opportunity to start another Ember vs Angular argument. Can we instead take a moment to celebrate the fact that we now have two major, stable, fast, capable, testable, tested, supported, documented, git-hubbed single-app javascript frameworks with large, passionate communities. Let's also recognise and celebrate the hard work put into these projects by the Ember & Angular teams. Ember and Angular a…

> documented Does Angular really qualify here? Technically it's documented, but they're terrible.

lets just be happy about open-source. The magnitude and quality of work being contributed is amazing.

So, isn't it time we had another Angular vs Ember discussion? I tried Ember some time ago and it just didn't click for me. It's hard to explain exactly why, but I found myself switching between too many files to get simple things done. I've done some simple Angular work recently, and found it a relatively simple system. In defence of Ember everything about the project -- docs, community -- seems to be better organise…

I've been working in Ember full time now for a few months, and I really advocate using just two files, at least to start: one for Javascript and one for HTML. I know, it's a terrible, horrible practice, but hear me out. Learning Ember, especially at the beginning, required me to sort of rewire my brain about what goes where. It's "MVC", but the M, V, and C mean totally different things than they mean in Rails. Really…

Although lots of work still needs to be done.

http://github.com/stefanpenner/ember-app-kit aims to prevent and mitigate the tooling pain, by having the community bear the burden.

I sorta learn Angularjs, well went through a few tutorials on Angular for a company. Turned out that company is now doing emberjs and I have to learn emberjs. I have to say EmberData is not production ready. It's modularity is more monolithic compare to Angularjs. There's a lot of moving parts that can break (in term of using emblem, brunch, handlebar, etc...). And the community is much smaller, less books, less peop…

comparing angular to ember-data seems strange, no?

No, but that's a great idea. Do you have any recommendations for a host that can serve up files of this size?

At the risk of offending some people.. Mega.co.nz gives 50 GB free storage.

I've been developing on AngularJS for a while now, and have been constantly checking Ember's development. I happen to like a lot of stuff in Ember and meant to use it in production. I mean, I really want to use it! However, it took forever to reach this state. It was always beta, rc or some other non-production version, in rapid development with API changes and stuff. While this is great news that it's finally a stab…

> It seems that Ember Data is in a new round of development with alpha status Ember Data isn't a requirement of Ember by any means. You can happily use these instead: * jQuery.ajax * https://github.com/ebryn/ember-model * http://epf.io/ * https://github.com/zendesk/ember-resource

and RESTLess

Since when did Backbone not count as a major framework?
