- Create service to refactor a component (0:39:04)
- Create
hasManyrelationships (0:50:05) - Prototype the UI (0:55:36)

Make Your Ember App Shine with Glimmer Components ✨
The release date of Ember's first edition - Ember Octane - is approaching and with it a new way to componentize your app: Glimmer Components. They provide a new API to create reusable building blocks for your Ember application. Packed with lots of new features, including argument immutability, tracked properties and Outer HTML semantics, Glimmer Components will make it easier for you to manage component state and to deliver high-performant UIs.
Already looking forward to use Glimmer Components in your own app, but don't know how to get started yet? Then this guide on "Getting Started with Glimmer Components in Ember.js" is a must read for you. In this article, Martin Feckie (@mfeckie) covers the new feature set landing with the Glimmer Components API and best practices for developing modern components with Ember Octane. Check it out today!
