      Regarding our blog, Reefpoints (http://reefpoints.dockyard.com/), all employees are encouraged to publish articles. We have designers, developers and project managers writing about technology, design and process. Moreover, it serves as a place for opinion and experience pieces regarding tech communities and conferences.

      We publish it through a public GitHub repo (https://github.com/dockyard/reefpoints).

      We've found the process of using Git for blog posts helpful. We submit pull requests and receive immediate feedback from our coworkers. Moreover, after officially publishing the article, our readers are allowed to submit pull requests of their own (usually correcting typos, or incorrect code blocks). Furthermore, we can open up GitHub issues to save our blog ideas.

      Personally, I've found this process great.

      I'm in the same boat as you, recently starting to learn Ember. The tutorial that Brian Cardarella created at Dockyard [1] covers creating a simple app and is really good. There are a few other simple tutorials. I'm struggling because all the resources I've found cover single model apps. Anyone know of any more in-depth complex resources?
