I started a major rewrite for a Rails App that I'm converting to Rails API + Ember with Ember Data. Yeah, the learning curve has been huge and Ember Data pretty much didn't help things. But, I've stuck with it and everytime I struggle with something (happened first with routing nested resources - still feels a bit magic sometimes), I take a step back and look at the Ember way of doing things and I usually become enlightened with the very well thought out decisions.

For those of you struggling with Ember Data - this is your best friend - https://github.com/emberjs/data/blob/master/TRANSITION.md probably the best documentation on the matter. If you got Active Model Serializers, use the right serializer on Ember data side to get going.

IF you're using Ember Rails - be sure to check that it's pulling the latest Ember Data.

I like that there are more tutorials and demos coming out but seriously, we need some more non-trivial UI examples. Maybe after my project I'll write up a blog post if anyone here is interested.
