Where can I find a tutorial + demo + source to the latest ember-1.0.0-rc.1 + ember.data-11 version? Starter-Level.
I tried so many tutorials, but all I found are out dated :(
Thanks so much in advance.
https://github.com/dgeb/ember_data_example is worth taking a look at. It is very up to date and intends to provide a complete end-to-end example of using ember and ember-data backed by a simple Rails 3.2 app
The ember docs and dev source have been the only definitive source of information for me, but the official examples are still being updated to work properly. Ember data is even further out of reach - heed their warning on the faq and don't use it for production.
As mentioned, there is a very well done peepcode video but it was released just weeks before the massive RC1 changes and so much it will only work if you use the pre-RC1 library. I can't imagine the peepcode producers are very pleased about having their training become almost completely obsolete so quickly.
At least RC1 should be the last major change that breaks everything, so try to move forward and not back.
My favourite is definitely: http://trek.github.com/ for all of the detail it goes into. I suggest you sit down and read that, with a nice cup of coffee on the side to keep you going.

I hate to ask such a newbie and vague question, but I imagine there must be others out there whose brains are also about to explode. I see related questions, but none that directly addresses my confusion.
I've just been introduced to Ember.js and I'm trying to learn the basics of the Router, but I can't find two sources that agree on how this is done. I suspect that I'm jumping in during an unstable transition. I'm using the latest 1.0.0-Pre.4 release.
The best I can figure, Router is the new mechanism, and possibly replaces StateManager - yes? Yet the classes listed under 1.0.0-Pre.4 API on the web site don't even list a Router object, nor does the guide make mention of it... yet, I get no complaints from javascript when I use sample code that extends Em.Router.
Ok cool, however it then barfs on the Router member "transitionTo" which is present in many of the demo projects, but is unrecognized in the current release.
So, I guess what I'm asking is not so much a direct question, as I am looking for a grounding point in a sea of contradictory information.
If starting out with Ember.js as it is RIGHT NOW (1.0.0-pre.4), with no history to contend with, what routing mechanism should I be looking at, and is there any tutorial or simple sample app that demonstrates and runs against this version of the library? Can you confirm my suspicion that the documentation is out-of-date in regard to routing?
Ember.js is a lot to learn, and if I ever hope to figure it out, I need to know what to ignore and what to embrace.
Thank you.

Yes, Router is the new mechanism. It does not replace StateManager per-se. Early version of the Ember Router were based on StateManager. The new one (1.0.0-pre.4) is not, but StateManager is still an important part of the ember library. Many of ember's core components (models, views) rely are built on StateManager.
Yet the classes listed under 1.0.0-Pre.4 API on the web site don't even list a Router object, nor does the guide make mention of it... yet, I get no complaints from javascript when I use sample code that extends Em.Router.
The Router does not have API docs yet. I imagine these are in the works. When in doubt about a fast-moving open source project I always have a look at the tests. Ember has a really solid test suite, and in the case of routing you can learn a lot by reading through the integration tests here: routing/basic_test.js

Sounds like those demo projects are out of date.

Re: the official docs I think both the API and Guides can be considered current, but be aware that not every ember feature has API docs so far. For sure there are many out-of-date sources floating around. Trek has been working to compile a list of out-of-date sources so that we can reach out to authors for a refresh. Here on Stack Overflow, anything related to the old router should now be tagged https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/ember-old-router.

The ember team has been putting a lot of effort over the past few months into the Ember.js Guides - AFAIK they are all up to date WRT (1.0.0-pre.4) and are becoming more solid every day. They include a lot of detail about the new Router - see Ember.js - Routing for the most up-to-date information.
As for tutorials, there are several new ones that are worth a look. Check out this SO post for a few recommendations: Could someone point me to an ember.js project that uses the latest routing system? Bonus points if it uses ember-data as well
tip: build your own version of ember from master branch - they fixed few bugs :)
I've been writing my own pagination logic that would be similar to the Ember.SortableMixin but with support for paging. Does anything like this exist yet in the pre 1.0 build?
If this doesn't exist is a pull request welcome around this specific behavior? It's my guess that 90% of apps out there need simple pagination/sorting and having a mixin built in would cut out almost 60+ lines of code.
Thank you in advance
Update
I replied to another "ember/ pagination" question and my full blown (working example) can be found at the below
Ember pagination full example
Here's a simple one that I've used: https://gist.github.com/1559628
It's by one of the top ember contributors.
i've just come across emberjs-pageable.
it looks quite nice at first glance, but i'm not sure if it's still maintained.
I've been using this one https://github.com/mathieul/page_wrapper
Tailored for use with Rails but could easily be adopted.
Really happy with it so far.
I've discovered this excelent series of video-tutorials, the "Django from the Ground Up", but as it was uploaded on 09/08 I was wondering if it's still worth going through it or I will teach me and "outdated" way of working with django.
What do you think?
thanks in advance,
Ignacio.
I haven't watched the video, but I suspect it's out of date.
If the tutorial is from 2008, then it's probably based on Django 1.0. As I write this is 2012, the latest version is Django 1.4.
Django is pretty good at not breaking things between versions, however there are changes you have to make to get a 1.0 project working in 1.4. If you're new to Django, you might end up wasting a lot of time struggling with the changes.
Although I personally don't know "Django from the Ground Up", I would not suggest using 2-3 year old tutorials about in-depth parts of Django.
A large part of Django is still the same (forms for example), but a lot of cool things have been added/modified in the Django ORM and Django Admin. So it really depends on what you're learning. If it's a simple part or just an initial look than it would probably be a good starting point.
If you want in-depth knowledge than you will need something more recent.
I think teamtreehouse has some django videos (though I have never seen them), but I would suggest you purchase the django book written by the django creators "The Definitive Guide to Django: Web Development Done Right". But be sure to get the second edition. You should also take a look at "http://harry.pythonanywhere.com/tutorial/1/" he has some very good tutorials you should work through. If however you really want videos try http://www.youtube.com/user/programmersbook he has has whole collection of django tutorials. The only downside on these is that the first 16 videos have no sound.
Anyway's good luck with django!
Is there any guidance on how to write modular Ember.js apps? I have seen Tom Dale's position on AMD here so I am not going to force fit AMD on to the framework (as some have attempted here). It appears that Ember internally uses bpm/spade. Is that a reasonable approach to modularize Ember apps too? Any samples using this approach?
P.S. The getbpm.org site seems to be down which makes it difficult to learn about it. There is a github page but it refers to the site for install instructions.
BPM in it's current form is no longer supported by the core team, but is community supported. The only build tools they are officially providing support for is rake-pipeline. However, BPM does still work and it works well (I still use it with my projects). For info on how to use it see this: https://github.com/ud3323/bpm/wiki/Using-BPM-with-Ember. You may want to use my fork of bpm too. I've merged in Joe West's support for a proxy middleware.
There is also community build tools for node.js called ember-runner which looks promising as well.
As for using rake-pipeline. Look at the AssetFile on the emberjs projects to see how must be configured using rake-pipeline and rake-pipeline-web-filters. Also, take a look at the answers to this question on StackOverflow (especially Yehuda's). You may also find this gist helpful as well.
Try Ember App Kit - maybe it would help you.
I have played a bit with Rails, so for me, creating a rails 3.2 app was the easiest way to achieve this. So if you don't mind using rails as a back-end, I this might suit you.
Perhaps ember-tools could help:
https://github.com/rpflorence/ember-tools
I am novice still I found yeoman and ember-generator useful. In future you might need to add tests , mock rest calls you can easily npm install sinonjs and npm install ic-ajax
Hi All I am new on Django and python.I want to wirte program with Django .So please share me useful ideas and concept.How can I set up djanog in my window OS.
I little confuse and occur some errors while I read ebooks.
Share me with all experiences please in step by step.
Thank for all
http://www.djangobook.com is your friend. Free, well written and generally ace.
First, if you're new in python read dive into python, you must use python 2.5 or 2.6 not 3 (for django at least)
For windows here's a good tutorial. Then read the djangobook
For further information you can read Pro Django
And remember the oficial docs is very well written.
This may help you to start
This is great resource for you Getting Started with Django
Enjoy.
The first thing you should do is get yourself a project, it can be anything. The classic django-learning project is a blog.
Python is fairly easy to learn once you have some programming experience. I recommend that you go through the official tutorial. This google class also looks pretty good. You don't need to know the standard library all that much -- just enough python to find your way around whenever you need something. I'd say you can pick up python in a few afternoons of work.
After that, go through the django tutotial to get an idea of how to get started. Then start with your project using the docs which are quite good. They also contain an overview and installation section which may be handy. After you've gotten your feet wet, read the django book and then go fix all the things that could be better about your project.
Just like with any kind of programming, the key is to be constantly practicing and improving your code.
