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 Meteo'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.

Paperback. Condition: New. DESCRIPTION Meteor is a unique full-stack framework designed to address some of the most persistent concerns faced when building web applications. It provides the same JavaScript APIs on both the client and server, resulting in no context switching, so the development environment is consistent and seamless. The reactive template model automatically pushes updates when data changes for fluid user experience. Users enjoy instant updates while Meteor handles the behind-the-scenes work of synchronizing data and building new pages. Finally, Meteor provides many unique productivity features, like push-button bundling and deployment, an intuitive interactivity protocol, and Smart Packages that make it a snap to manage application features. Meteor in Action tackles full-stack web development using the Meteor platform. Starting with an overview of a Meteor application, it reveals the unique nature of Meteor's end-to-end application model. Then it dives into the Blaze templating engine, Meteor's reactive datasources model, simple and advanced routing techniques, and managing users, permissions, and roles. It guides readers through typical real world scenarios like managing file uploads, SEO, and localizing applications as they create their own packages to reuse functionality across projects. Lastly, it covers deploying Meteor on a server and scaling efficiently. KEY SELLING POINTS Provides the key to Meteor's magic Increases productivity Provides all-in-one solution for building web applications AUDIENCE For server-side developers and front-end engineers who want to build full-stack applications in JavaScript. Readers should have good knowledge of HTML/CSS and JavaScript. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY Meteor is a JavaScript-based open-source platform for building realtime web applications in a fraction of the time you're used to. It aims to make app development easier than ever before by introducing some new and exciting technological concepts such as full stack reactivity, latency compensation, and the Distributed-Data-Protocol.
