I feel like the more time goes on the less this is important. I also think with the move back to default or !pod structure, the less that point needs to be made. If that's the case, it needs to be de-emphasized in the ember talk as well.

It drives home the point that Ember is URL driven, and most of the "magic" in Ember comes from how it intelligently figures things out from the URL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ6at0addi4

015 reports that this study was 2-3+ hours long. Might need to trim, or split over multiple days. IMO anything over 2 hours (maybe even should be aiming for 90 mins) is too much for one night.

Remove from ember lesson.

Put simply: it's with the router that you'll “assemble” your application where state applies.

So, I just ran through the emberjs tutorial, and I'm actually pretty impressed. Since we're switching to default over pods structure, I think we can have them drill through this at the start and it allows us to be much more succinct in the early ember talks.
Here is the tutorial I'm referring to: https://guides.emberjs.com/v2.11.0/tutorial/ember-cli/

As far as I can tell, only the bolded ones would be required (R), italics are helpful (H), plain text can be ignored or are Nice to Haves (NTH):

TUTORIAL:
Creating Your App (R) -> ember-study
Setting Up Tests <- We don't cover testing, maybe this is a (NTH)
Routes and Templates (R) -> ember-routing-study
The Model Hook (R) -> ember-routing-study
Installing Addons (NTH)
Building a Simple Component (NTH)
Creating a Handlebars Helper (NTH)
Using Ember Data (R) -> ember-routing-study || ember-resources-study
Building a Complex Component (NTH) <- f*ck this is cool.
Services and Utilities (NTH)
Adding Nested Routes (R) -> ember-routing-study
Deploying (NTH)

NOTE: In almost all the sections there are pieces on testing that we can tell them to ignore unless they're interested in implementing it themselves/would like an added challenge.

Only the Getting Started section of Codeschool Ember is available for free. Update required reading to only require the free section.

Additionally, we highly recommend completing the entire Try Ember course from CodeSchool.

Please note that the ember-routing talk requires ember-inspector to be installed which does not get installed until https://github.com/ga-wdi-boston/ember-inspector. This is one study where we could add that step in.

I think this is the biggest time suck. I've already added options to trim the tutorial. I think having them actually DO the tutorial is a better use of their time than reading any of this, but having them read all of this in one study IMHO is far, far too much for one study.

Currently referencing https://guides.emberjs.com/v2.4.0/ should be https://guides.emberjs.com/v2.5.0/ during cohort 011.

Not sure it's serving as much pedagogical purpose as we would like, considering the amount of time it may take. 015 said it was too long per mention in #82. How do we feel about removing it @jrhorn424 I assume you put it there? Is it worth them spending the time on this before any Ember? Can their time be better spent?

We "need" to be more explicit to tell them to DO THE FREAKIN TUTORIAL.

So, I had some issues installing watchman and running ember serve, but I was able to find some resources that helped me get everything working.

I followed these instructions to get watchman installed:

$ git clone https://github.com/facebook/watchman.git
$ cd watchman
$ git checkout v4.7.0
$ sudo apt-get install -y autoconf automake build-essential python-dev
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

source: http://bravissimolabs.com/installing-watchman-on-ubuntu-14-04/
(It's similar to the official install instructions, but adds sudo apt-get instructions)
(Also I changed the versions to 4.7.0)

Next, when I tried to run ember serve I got an error about not having enough user watches:

The user limit on the total number of inotify watches was reached
increase the fs.inotify.max_user_watches sysctl

To increase the number of user watches I ran this code:

$ echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
$ sudo sysctl -p

source: https://github.com/guard/listen/wiki/Increasing-the-amount-of-inotify-watchers
(One thing the official instructions do not tell you is what the number of user watchers should be set to, or how much to increase it by. I have no idea if 524288 is way too much or what.)
