@t4t5 Thanks for a great course, I purchased it yesterday for the exact reasons you outline above and being a new Ember enthusiast. I can highly recommend the course to anyone that wants to learn to create new Ember 2.0 apps.
One thing that is a little unclear to me still (see Should we still use Controllers and guidelines for new apps?) is if/when/where we should still use Controllers. My understanding from reading and watching everything I could find about Ember 2.0 is that it is all about Components and Services now and that Controllers should not be used anymore. However, in your course you do make use of Controllers so would appreciate some insight into the usage of Controllers going forward if possible (perhaps in the linked thread?).
Thanks again for a great course.
