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).
