Ember is for the Children
summary
Program claims: free eight-week course, four hours a week, trains three students over eight weeks to build HTML/CSS, JavaScript projects and Ember apps. Tools actually used include Ember-based to-do list, Bootstrap, Rails for a blog, Git for repos and a PhoneGap app for food banks assembled in 48 hours. Surprising numbers: teen unemployment ~20.7% in the Bay Area, African‑American rate ~38%, Southeast Asian ~54%, 14,000 jobs added last month with ~25% tech. Outcomes: one student wins a full ride to San Jose State, others ship apps and teach back to the community.
