Setting up a SSL Cert from Comodo

I use Namecheap.com as a registrar, and they resale SSL Certs from a number of other companies, including Comodo.

These are the steps I went through to set up an SSL cert.

Purchase the cert

Ember.Application.initializer({
  name: 'currentUser',

  initialize: function(container, application) {
    var user,
        store = container.lookup('store:main'),
        attributes = $('meta[name="current-user"]').attr('content');
        
    if (attributes) {
      var serializer = store.serializerFor(App.User);

Components are taking center stage in Ember 2.0. Here are some things you can do today to make the transition as smooth as possible:

• Use Ember CLI
• In general, replace views + controllers with components
• Only use controllers at the top-level for receiving data from the route, and use Ember.Controller instead of Ember.ArrayController or Ember.ObjectController
• Fetch data in your route, and set it as normal properties on your top-level controller. Export an Ember.Controller, otherwise a proxy will be generated. You can use Ember.RSVP.hash to simulate setting normal props on your controller.
