JSFoo Coimbatore 2019

A Talk about how Ember Octane, a new edition of Ember.js recently released will help frontend developers to spin modern web apps really easily and quickly. The talk will be focused on how the Octane edition utilizes the native platform features like ES Classes, decorators, etc., effectively.

This talk will hopefully help developers from the various ecosystems (Vue, React, Vanilla JavaScript, etc.,) to grasp how to build a modern app using Ember.js and it’s eco-system. Since the talk will focus on the intro to the framework, the basic understanding of JavaScript language is enough. However, experience with ES classes would be helpful but not mandatory.
