Official Documentation

  • guides.emberjs.com — the authoritative Octane guides, kept in sync with the latest release.
  • api.emberjs.com — the full API reference.
  • emberjs.com/releases — release notes for every minor version.

Addons

  • emberobserver.com — searchable directory of every published addon with quality scores.
  • ember-template-imports — the modern single-file component (gjs/gts) format; the future of Ember authoring.
  • glint — TypeScript types for templates.
  • ember-changeset — validation and rollback.
  • ember-power-select — robust select / autocomplete addon.

Community

  • discord.gg/ember — the official Discord; very active and welcoming.
  • discuss.emberjs.com — the long-form community forum.
  • EmberConf on YouTube — recorded talks from each year’s conference.
  • The Ember Times — weekly community newsletter on the Ember blog.

Deeper Topics

  • Polaris — the upcoming edition replacing parts of Octane (template-only components, signals-style reactivity, gjs/gts).
  • ember-data v5 paradigm — JSON-API plus Request Manager.
  • Type-safe templates with Glint.

The Ember community values stability — what you have learned will still ship apps five years from now. Welcome aboard.
