At EmberConf Terence Lee and I had a chance to sit down with Tom Dale and chat about the history of Ember.js and where it’s headed now, including some details on the newly extracted Glimmer.js rendering engine. This post details a lot of the history of Ember, including some of the motivation that led the framework to what it is today. Watch the blog for the second portion of this interview with all of the details on Glimmer.js. The next post will also include the full audio of the interview, with many questions we opted to omit from the transcription …

Last week, Terence Lee and I caught up with Tom Dale at EmberConf to talk about FastBoot, when you should avoid native apps, and why JavaScript on the server and the browser might start to converge. Check the end for the full recording!
So let’s start with the drama, would you say Ember has declared war on native apps? [laughs]
[sigh] Yeah. Yeah, I think that’s fair. Yeah. Sure. Why not? Let’s go with that.
A lot of other frameworks, take this approach of bringing web technologies and dropping them into native experiences – React Native being the prime example. …

Heroku has a strong tradition with open source projects. Engineers have dedicated countless hours to the projects that developers count on every day. Open Source Software is in our DNA.
Speaking personally, I’m passionate about building tools like AFNetworking and cupertino, in order to help developers build insanely great experiences for mobile devices. It’s with great pleasure that I introduce something new I’ve been working on:
Helios is an open-source framework that provides essential back-end services for iOS apps. This includes data synchronization, push notifications, in-app purchases, and passbook integration. It allows developers to get a client-server app up-and-running …

If you're in the Ruby world, you've likely heard about mruby, Matz's latest experimental Ruby implementation. What I bet you didn't know is that you can run mruby on Heroku right now. As a matter of fact you can run just anything on Heroku, as long as it can compile it into a binary on a Linux box.
If you're new to mruby, or to compiling binaries take a look at my last article Try mruby Today. I cover getting mruby up and running on your local machine. If you are already up to speed then follow along …

Heroku is now sporting an updated docs layout at docs.heroku.com. These new docs should be much easier to navigate and link to.
We built this as a standalone Sinatra app serving Markdown files, partially inspired by Assaf Arkin’s approach to Buildr. This makes it as snappy as staticly rendered pages, while retaining the flexibility of a dynamic app on the backend.
The docs app is deployed as a regular app on Heroku (just like this blog). Nothing special-case here: we deploy with git push, just like any other Heroku user. Dogfooding is good for you.
The app’s source …

One of the many benefits of Rails is database independence. Migrations are particularly nice in this regard; and the easy-to-read / Rubyified display of your schema (via rake db:schema:dump) in schema.rb is icing on the cake.
But what about data? For import and export of the actual data, we’re stuck with mysqldump (or pg_dump, if you’re so inclined). Further, these dump formats are not terribly readable, contain lots of information you may or may not want to copy (like permissions, schema settings, views, triggers…you know, database features that Rails users are supposed to avoid).
Worst of all, ddata dumps are …
