Monthly Ember.js Meetup - Advanced Ember and Ember Jeopardy!

Important note! STL Ember.js is the SECOND Monday for June instead of the first Monday, because Second Street is hosting the Promotions Summit (http://summit.secondstreet.com/) on the first Monday of June.

Get together with local Ember.js users to get to know what's new in the Ember ecosystem, and each other.

Agenda

6:00–6:25 Meet & Greet: Social time - Network, introduce yourself, and have fun!

6:30–6:55 Presentation: Advanced Ember: Services, Dependency Injection, and Component Collaboration

7:00–7:25 Game: Ember Jeopardy!

7:30–Whenever Hack Together: Experiment with the material that has been presented, bring your own project, or maybe we'll even work on Ember.js itself!

Presentations

Advanced Ember: Services, Dependency Injection, and Component Collaboration

Blake Mills (https://twitter.com/MillsBlake) will be presenting on some of the more advanced parts of Ember.js you may find useful when building large applications. A walk through of an example implementation of a user permissions system will take you on a tour of: Services, an easy way to use singleton objects to manage third-party or application state; Dependency Injection, which Ember uses internally but exposes for you to make your services available to routes, controllers, and more; and Component Collaboration, the useful new way to have your components work together to bring advanced functionality to the declarative world of Handlebars.

Ember Jeopardy!

Kerrick Long (https://twitter.com/KerrickLong) will be hosting a game of Ember Jeopardy! This quiz game, like the TV show, will stretch your knowledge and test your recollection. With academic categories such as "Views," "The Router," and "Ember-Handlebars," as well as community-oriented categories like "Contributing" and "Culture," you're sure to learn something new. Plus, prizes will be awarded!
