Discourse is one of the most starred projects on Github, and in its first year was featured in their state of the octoverse as one of the open source projects with the highest momentum.
When Discourse was released, about a year ago, I didn't know either Ember.js or Ruby on Rails. In this talk, I will share my experience and challenges learning Ember.js while contributing to one of the largest open-source Ember.js project and present the things that worked well and the ones that didn't.
