Many of these resources are less than a month old. This is not just because I left out the older stuff due to out-of-dateness, but also because there's been a lot of growth lately in the landscape around the Ember.js core. (Like this blog!)
Aggregators
Ember.js Weekly Wrapup bradleypriest.com
More like biweekly, but I'm not complaining. Fifteen posts since it's debut on May 7, each one summarizing what's new in Ember-land since the last. The highlight is the hand-picked list of repo commits and pull-requests with short explanations. How awesome is that? Go thank @bradleypriest.
Ember.js Dashboard code418.com/ember.js-dashboard/
A four-column screen of recent Ember-related items pulled from Twitter (emberjs search), the GitHub repo, StackOverflow's ember.js tag, and the emberjs Subreddit. It's a buffet of real-time Ember.js activity (other than the Subreddit, which is stagnating). Implemented in Ember, you can find the source on GitHub. Go thank @pangratz.
EmberWatch emberwatch.com
A crowd-sourced list of resources curated by Philip Poots (@emberwatch). Currently limited to videos and presentations, but the data and layout quality is high, and he intends to expand into other resources soon.
Emblr, the Ember.js Tumblr emberjs.tumblr.com
Another crowd-sourced and moderated feed, this time composed mostly of articles and tutorials. Not sure how active it is (I submitted my blog a few days ago, still waiting for it to show), but I'm keeping an eye on it. (See update below.)
Tutorials
Trek's "Advice on & Instruction in the Use Of Ember.js"
http://trek.github.com/ (2012-08-31)
Written by Ember contributor Trek Glowacki, this is hands-down the best and most up-to-date beginner's tutorial for Ember. First published 2012-08-29, it has been updated a few times since, and I suspect he intends to continue. You can contribute fixes and additions via the repo.
Andy Matthew's "Flame on! A Beginner's Guide to Ember.js"
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/html5/articles/flame-on-a-beginners-guide-to-emberjs.html (2012-05-15)
Older, but still worthwhile. This is the other most-popular comprehensive tutorial for beginners. (See below for a link to his blog.)
José Mota's "Game On: Backbone and Ember"
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/game-on-backbone-and-ember/ (2012-08-31)
This is actually a review/comparison of Backbone and Ember, but it goes into so much detail using the context of a ToDo app that it might as well be a tutorial. :)
Blogs
I've been making notes on every blog I come across that has two or most posts about Ember, since I figure they're more likely to have future content. Here's a dump of them, in reverse chronological order based on their most recent Ember-related post:
[2012-09-20] KasperTideman.com
[2012-09-18] LukeMelia.com
[2012-08-20] TheSoftwareSimpleton.com
[2012-07-26] Code418.com (the Dashboard guy)
[2012-07-02] CodeBrief.com
[2012-06-19] AndyMatthews.net (the Adobe.com tutorial guy)
[2012-05-14] TomDale.net (core team member)
[2012-05-11] Zhubert.com
[2012-05-05] Grosser.it
[2012-04-30] Emberist.com
[2012-03-06] Cerebris.com (old, but still very worthwhile)
There's an official Ember.js blog, but it only has one post from 2012-08-03 announcing the release of 1.0-pre.
Some people worth following on Twitter (most of whom are Ember contributors):
@dgeb @ebryn @emberjs @handlebarsjs @krisselden @jo_liss @sly7_7 @tomdale @trek @wagenet @wycats
Support
There is no Google Group yet, but the IRC channel (#emberjs at irc.freenode.com) is worth hanging out in. Also, the ember.js tag on Stack Overflow is very active, with about a dozen new questions per day and over 1k total so far. Other Ember-related tags seeing adoption include ember-data, handlebars.js, and ember-router.
Next up: Before you go asking for help regarding a specific bit of code that's not working, you need to learn how to play the fiddle...
Update: Added a few more blogs to the list. Also, I've just been given access to Emblr in order to post my articles there (and any others, I presume), so now I have no one to blame but myself if it stagnates. :)
