Learn to build dynamic, real-time, single page web applications using Meteor.js with very little code and at lightning speed.

Outline

Meteor is a JavaScript framework that helps us build dynamic, realtime single-page web applications with very little code and at lightning speed. Meteor is a great framework for rapidly prototyping applications since it abstracts away the configuration details and automates most of the repetitive tasks.

My talk will be a brief overview of Meteor.js. I will try to cover the following topics -

• Concepts and principles of Meteor
• Introduction to Handlebars templating library and using templates with Meteor
• Reactive Programming - reactive contexts and data stores
• Introduction to MongoDB and Meteor Collections
• Using Meteor Smart Packages
• Security - Restricting Read/Write access
• Packaging and Deploying an application

I will also walk through the code of a sample application to demonstrate the process of structuring and organizing code in a Meteor app.

Requirements

• Basic understanding of JavaScript.
• A laptop (Preferably Mac or Linux).
