I'm completely new to Ember myself (long time Rails/jQuery developer) and I found that I had to read through all of the guides several times before I felt I could piece together a clear view of what seemed to be the main concepts. \r\n\r\nAs an aid to help me organize my own thinking I've written an alternative version of the Core Concepts guide that captures what I found to be important for me to grasp as a new developer: https://github.com/MarkMT/guides/tree/concepts\r\n\r\nIf it's useful to others I'm happy for it to be used however anyone wants. Happy to provide a PR if that's useful or just have it used as food for thought.\r\n\r\nThe existing section describes the major components more or less independently, which is also the pattern that the Guides as a whole takes. For me, I found it helpful to take a more thematic approach and try to show more explicitly how the various parts fit together - YMMV. It's necessarily a lot longer, but it provides an overall perspective that I was missing.\r\n\r\nI'm anything but an Ember expert so there may well be some mistakes or misunderstandings. Happy to take comments/corrections."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/emberjs/guides/issues/comments/130773527","html_url":"https://github.com/emberjs/guides/issues/585#issuecomment-130773527","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/emberjs/guides/issues/585","id":130773527,"user":{"login":"locks","id":32344,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/32344?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/locks","html_url":"https://github.com/locks","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/locks/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/locks/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/locks/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/locks/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/locks/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/locks/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/locks/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/locks/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/locks/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-08-13T17:37:42Z","updated_at":"2015-08-13T17:37:42Z","body":"While it would be more helpful to open a PR for this, big rewrites are also harder for us to deal with. The docs team has discussed an approach similar to yours, but we've had to put out some fires meanwhile.\r\nI will bring this up in today's meeting and let you know the response."}}
