"I’ve always been a backend guy. I love Ruby. Keep things simple. Oh no, not another JavaScript framework..." This was me a year ago. Now I don't feel like this anymore. Matter of fact, the other day I caught myself saying: "I can do everything in Ember!" In this talk, I will narrate the journey that turned a hardened Ruby Engineer into an Ember enthusiast. I will recount how I escaped from the "New to Ember" pits of despair, how I fought in the "Upgrade Wars" and ultimately how it changed my mind about all software development. As I learned Ember, I learned to love Ember.
