Ember Octane Update for Modern Ember Tutorial 🎁
@CodingItWrong updated his Modern Ember tutorial to use octane-app-blueprint.
This tutorial provides an intro to:
- Angle bracket syntax for components
- Easy ES6 imports of NPM modules
- Decorators for clear and expressive component implementations
- Tracked properties to automatically rerender components and recompute derived data
- and Co-locating component templates and classes for easy development
Try out Ember Octane today which @CodingItWrong calls the “simplest, most straightforward, most productive frontend framework!”

RFC for Deprecating Eventing from Ember 💬
@ggayowsky asks for your feedback for deprecating the eventing pattern from Ember. The motivation stems from the fact that Ember no longer uses eventing, thanks to the work done for Octane. By deprecrating it, we can simplify Ember and follow the 2019-2020 Roadmap.
In particular, Gerald proposes that we target deprecating the Evented mixin and methods from @ember/object/events and @ember/object/evented packages. If you need to still use the eventing pattern, you could use a well-supported, third-party library instead.
For more information about eventing and the plan to deprecate it from Ember, please check out the RFC today. Be sure to provide your feedback and help!
