How to Build a Hangman Game with Ember Octane
One of the most exciting news from EmberConf 🐹 this year is the announcement of Ember Octane preview!
If you’ve been reading Ember Times, the community newsletter for all things Ember , you may have read the 5-part series by Chris @pzuraq on the many new features in Octane. To quote Chris:
[Octane] is Ember’s first new edition, proposed in the Ember 2018 Roadmap, and represents a major shift in the mental model behind Ember.js and Ember applications. — Coming Soon in Ember Octane — Part 1: Native Classes
Following the announcement, you can now take Octane out for a test drive! You can find the roadmap RFC, new app quickstart, syntax conversion guide and more on the Octane Preview page 🎬.

You can watch the Twitch stream video, note that we both use Visual Studio Code as our code editor, and were collaborating real-time with Code’s handy live share feature 💻:
