• Integrates {{Handlebars}} templates

• Model — View — ViewModel

• Models are extensions or subclasses of the Ember.Object class

• Uniform Access Principle

• Context passing between controllers

• Focus on complexity, made easier with convention over configuration

SHAREPOINT?

• Reduced to a data & authentication source

• JSOM calls made in your controller or view model to get the data for your models

• Remember: SharePoint Apps are 10% SharePoint, 90% App.

CONCLUSIONS?

“It depends.”
