Learning a new concept or even a JavaScript framework can be hard. It's even harder if the documentation isn't that beginner friendly. Although that isn't really the case with Ember, in my opinion, I still enjoy finding a good programming book to help teach me the concepts I need to learn and that will even help me build my first app using that new technology.

I'm still a beginner to Ember, but when I was just starting out, aside from learning from my instructor and the tutorials he created, I searched for a book that I could use to help get started. There are two books that I found and have been using to aide me in my learning of Ember, which I wanted to tell you all about today.

While some of the materials I found were a little outdated, one I settled on was called "ember-cli 101". The book, now called "ember 101" is written by <NAME> and helps you get started developing in Ember. It helps you build your first app, an app to help you keep track of items you lend to your friends, a bit different than the standard todo-list app and teaches you the main features of Ember CLI and how to use Ember Data.

The cool thing about this book is that it was recently updated for Ember 2.0 and continues to be updated regularly, plus it's now <strong>FREE!</strong>. Although you can still pay for it to contribute, Adolfo said he wanted to make a stronger commitment with the Ember community and make it accessible to everyone. The book is also now released under a creative commons license so anyone can edit and contribute to the book, which is in the spirit of Ember itself, built by an open source community. The [source code for the book can be found here](https://github.com/abuiles/ember-101). With almost 3000 readers already, you know it's a good book to help get your started.

You can [check out the book here](https://leanpub.com/ember-cli-101).

I wanted to mention one other Ember book that's now available as well called "Rock and Roll with Ember.js" by <NAME>. I'm actually working through this currently. Although I only recently found out about it, the first edition of the book followed Ember's journey to its 2.0 release. As with "ember 101", this book also guides you through building a 'real' application to teach you all of Ember's concepts.<commit_msg>Update blog post on Ember books<commit_after>---
