Ember.js 1.0 Prerelease

Off topic but can a another Windows user can tell me if the text looks horrible to you as it does to me? <a href="http://i.imgur.com/rooNb.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/rooNb.png</a><p>I know Chrome has bad font rendering problems on Windows but this is just atrocious. Also FF is a bit better but not by much. This usually happens to me with webfonts only. The fact that I see so little complaints about this online make me think that perhaps it has something to do with my system.<p>edit: an even worse example <a href="http://i.imgur.com/XTATn.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/XTATn.png</a>

I've looked at Ember.js in the past, but frankly, I've been intimidated by the lack of good documentation and examples. I'm not an expert like some of you and I really need good tutorials. Backbone excels because of the large community. Knockout has some killer walkthroughs - <a href="http://learn.knockoutjs.com/" rel="nofollow">http://learn.knockoutjs.com/</a>. Now that Ember.js 1.0 is on the horizon, is this getting better? I want to learn!

really excited about this. We've been using Ember.js for a few months and I've been really impressed by the people in the community (at least in NYC).<p>Here are some slides from a presentation my cofounder did about our journey from first commit to production deploy in 10 days:<p><a href="https://speakerdeck.com/u/jrallison/p/building-customerio-with-emberjs" rel="nofollow">https://speakerdeck.com/u/jrallison/p/building-customerio-wi...</a>

I really do love what Ember brings but I need, need, need a production ready persistence layer. Backbone has me spoiled in that area.

Stupid question maybe, but has coffeescript support been talked about at all?<p>I've had issues with ember and coffeescript before because of some of the choices they've made on how to declare models.

Yay real excited about this! I'm currently a Backbone.js junkie but I'm looking for something more opinionated and less boilerplatey. Nice to see Ember.js maturing. Let's see some more documentation!

I'm confused about how this or similar offerings like backbone would fit into an existing web app framework like django. Would you even use this for django or rails? Because at the surface, it seems like I'd have to retype my model definitions in JavaScript (or at least code generate them) and then use some JavaScript templating system instead of django's.<p>Can anybody shed some light on this for me?

we were planning to use Ember.js in our production app last week, but dropped the idea of using it after learning that API might change in 1.0 release at Throne Of JS (<a href="http://throneofjs.com" rel="nofollow">http://throneofjs.com</a>)<p>Now, that we are much closer to 1.0 release, We'll re-visit the idea! The whole team was highly impressed by it.

congrats guys - looking forward to dropping it into my app and giving it a try this week!
