About this course
This course will teach Ember.js from scratch, with in-depth explanations of how to use it to build a basic web application. It’s designed for beginners and doesn’t assume any prior knowledge of Ember.js. Because this course is particularly for developers just starting out with Ember.js, it’s full of code snippets and illustrations that will help learners better understand each concept in detail. We’ll implement each of the concepts that we learn in a simple e-commerce web application.
Note: We’ll use Ember.js 3.28 throughout this course.
