Ember CLI - Stefan Penner

npm install -g ember-cli
ember new project-name
ember server or ember server --port xxxx to run on a specific port.
ember test (runs testem behind the scenes)
  then it's just localhost:7357/tests
completely seperate front-end and backend code -- make them two different apps
testem is the test runner suite used by default in ember-cli

Watch the New York Ember Meetups
Characteristics of successful app - User Experience, Performance, Reliability
  Steve Krug - Don't make me think (wish I knew what happened to this)
write confident code - confidentruby.com - concepts are very valuable.
** These slides are really good, I can't get them all down. **
Ember conf talk convergent-divergent - watch this
Designing apis for asynchrony - blog.izs.me
anything that can be asynchronous should ALWAYS be asynchronous (use promises all the time)
stef's testing guidelines:
  what's most likely to have an issue?
  what is of high business value?
  triaging priority:
    high algorithmeic complexity
    boundaries - integrations with external services
    features with high business value
  dont test the framework
full stack acceptance tests - what would the user do?
make tests clear and concise and easy to understand.
test complex computed properties, controllers and components.
Need to take a lot more time to understand Ember.run for unit tests.
