Invest in Your Career Growth with Small Habits for Professional Development
Some Professional Development activities are time-consuming. Gaining a certification for a cloud platform, for example, requires hours of learning and study before the hours of testing. This may feel like an intimidating amount of work. However, even a busy schedule can include a few small habits for professional development that, over time, will add […]
It is a developed skill to take all the different things in my life and answer two questions, “What should I learn next,” and “How am I going to learn it.” I’ve had twenty years to figure out how to self-direct my learning. In addition, I’ve had some semi-professional experience in developing my training materials […]
Recently, we had a book club where we read the Mikado Method, a process of handling large scale rearchitecting via refactors on the Master Branch without adversely impacting new features. One of the techniques that make up the method is visualizing the refactoring plan as a digraph of dependent steps. But as much as I […]
It’s all about time. SEP, like most organizations, lives and dies by time sheets. Our time sheets are two weeks long. Each entry has a start time, a project code, a description, and a duration. Easy enough, but what does that have to do with EmberJS? To Quote Miss Jackson, “I Want to be the […]

I regret nothing, but we are going to play with the routes of an example […]
Where do we go from here? We begin with the Url. The history of the web is based around the URL and our ability to transition from one url to another. Ember is built around the Url. You are a Web Developer if you build apps with Urls – Tom Dale Every view we want […]
Ember has about six concepts that once you understand a bit will help you unlock the documentation and figure out how to develop your site. I have written before about not needing to fully understand ember before working on a project, but once you start getting your feet under you and need to branch out. […]
There was a recent blog post by Rob Conery about learning EmberJs by just flinging yourself at it. That was something that kind of resonated with me.
