The separation of structure, presentation and behavior is dead. It has been dead for a while. Still, this golden rule of web design sticks around. It lives on like Elvis and we need to address it.

Ember.js is a new JavaScript framework that was formerly SproutCore 2.0. When I tried out SproutCore for the first time a few years ago, I was impressed with it’s data binding and templates, but I found it included a lot of things I didn’t need or want, like a large UI framework and it’s own recommended toolchain and workflow. I wished I could just use the few core parts of SproutCore easily and leave out the rest. Ember.js is that wish coming true. Its main focuses are: data binding, computed properties, and auto-updating templates.

Check out the Ember.js on Github and read the announcement here.

Ember.js had the code name Amber while in development. It was announced under the name Amber.js, but renamed to Ember.js after there was some confusion with another project

Good points…

1. Demonstrate from the top that high quality and attention to detail are prioritized and appreciated above everything else, including being the first to market, having the most features, or having the most aggressive prices. If you can get those as well, that’s great, but quality will not be sacrificed to do so.
2. Instill these values in your staff. If you can’t, hire a staff for which you can. Better yet, hire a staff for which you don’t need to.
3. Aggressively pursue simplification, elegance, craftsmanship, and the highest-class user experiences in the product line. Ruthlessly cut or hold features or entire products that aren’t good enough.
4. Make it pretty.
