Getting Started with Meteor.js JavaScript Framework - Second Edition

This book is for developers and students who have a working knowledge of JavaScript and HTML, and want to learn how to quickly develop full-stack web applications using pure JavaScript. A basic understanding of traditional web server development and database methodologies will be helpful, but not necessary. Readers are expected to know how to program basic HTML pages and JavaScript functions, and be familiar with terminal (basic shell) commands.

As a Design Technologist for Adobe Systems, Isaac Strack actively researches, develops, and contributes to emerging device and Internet technologies, incorporating these new technologies into the Adobe Digital Media and Digital Marketing product lines. He is on the board of directors for the Wasatch Institute of Technology, a computer science high school located in Utah that is changing the face of education through an Agile-based teaching methodology, which emphasizes real-life technology skills and STEM education. Isaac worked for the Service Technologies group at eBay for over 11 years, where he was on the forefront of AJAX, .NET, and web-related technologies. While at eBay, he earned a web technology patent, and is one of the original developers of the Listing Violation Inspection System (LVIS), used to monitor and regulate auctions and member-to-member transactions. Isaac has a passion for technology and design, and conveys that passion through his contributions online and in his local community. Despite his experiences to the contrary, he's still naïve enough to believe what Steve Jobs said, "If you have a good idea and a little moxie, you can change the world."
