Book Description

Summary

Meteor in Action teaches you full-stack web development using the Meteor platform. It starts with an overview of a Meteor application, revealing the unique nature of Meteor's end-to-end application model. Then you'll dive into the Blaze templating engine, discover Meteor's reactive data sources model, learn simple and advanced routing techniques, and practice managing users, permissions, and roles.

About the Book

You might call Meteor a reactive, isomorphic, full-stack web development framework. Or, like most developers who have tried it, you might just call it awesome. Meteor is a JavaScript-based framework for both client and server web and mobile applications. Meteor applications react to changes in data instantly, so you get impossibly responsive user experiences, and the consistent build process, unified front- and back-end package system, and one-command deploys save you time at every step from design to release.

Meteor in Action teaches you full-stack web development with Meteor. It starts by revealing the unique nature of Meteor’s end-to-end application model. Through real-world scenarios, you’ll dive into the Blaze templating engine, discover Meteor’s reactive data sources model, learn routing techniques, and practice managing users, permissions, and roles. Finally, you’ll learn how to deploy Meteor on your server and scale efficiently.
