A bit of technical nitpick... amber_vm/xxx are not encouraged to use, as
they are deemed internal. Moreover, globals (like classes) are still
accessible at the old place (for backward compatibility), but they
reside in different, dedicated place for globals (that's what a warning
line about ClassName in js console is about)..

That onclick should contain
"require('amber/helpers').globals.Counter._tryExample".

Ah - now that is a very good point to note - no sense in me learning any bad habits at the beginning ;)

Thanks for all the tips, I’m keen to kickstart my new level of learning.
