Getting Started With Meteor Tutorial

A lot of software developers use JavaScript nowadays. Despite some polarizing opinions, JavaScript is still very popular.

Then, with JavaScript, comes Meteor, a very popular framework.

Meteor, or MeteorJS, is a free and open-source JavaScript web framework written using Node.js. Meteor allows for rapid prototyping and produces cross-platform (Android, iOS, Web) code. It integrates with MongoDB and uses the Distributed Data Protocol and a publish–subscribe pattern to automatically propagate data changes to clients without requiring the developer to write any synchronization code. On the client, Meteor depends on jQuery and can be used with any JavaScript UI widget library.

  1. Thanks , great tutorial , cool setup , could you plz post a new video for using Meteor with GraphQL + react as it the new direction suggested by MDG.

  2. Wow, thank you so much for recording this. I had started working with Angular, but something just wasn't really 'clicking' when I tried starting to build my own project. I watched your tutorial, and I have to say that it looked like Meteor had what I was missing / not getting from Angular.

    After watching the tutorial, I was able to start a new project and get A LOT of it done in my first day! I'm now following your channel and blog!

    Thanks again!

  3. Since most of the code was written in the isClient side, how is it being syncd between several clients, since the server is not being updated with the "done"?

  4. Hello John,  How about doing an in-depth Meteor course on Pluralsight with the current version ov Meteor?  This video was very well done.  You have an excellent teaching style.  Put that in use to create a current and more in-depth course for Pluralsight.  I have a subscription.
