March Ember.js SF Meetup!

Hey everybody! You can mark your calendars for the second Ember.js meetup in San Francisco, Tuesday, March 27th! A big thank you to dotCloud for hosting this time.

This time, we'll be having two lightning talks and, by popular request, a longer talk giving in introduction to Ember for people who are exploring the framework for the first time.

At dotCloud, we wanted to design a web app that allows users to interact with a SQL database. We created two versions of the web app: one using Ember.js data, and one using vanilla jQuery.This allowed us to compare the versions and see where Ember.js data saved us effort, and where it could be improved.
