very good intro to meteor. if you know nodejs, you can start building simple apps with meteor now. with this book, you will not be able to write a facebook, but you can gain a lot of foundamental 'ideas'.the author does have a follow-up tutorial series on the internet, which further extends your understanding of meteor. after that, plus if you know bootstrap, you will then be able to build some interesting stuff.highly recommend!

This is a great book for "amateur beginners" and "advanced beginners" alike.What I mean "amateur beginners" are programmers that know some JavaScript and have seen and played around with Node. "Advanced beginners" are programmers that already know a JavaScript framework on the front-end and also a Node framework on the back-end and have had a lot of experience with JavaScript.For the "amateur beginners" you get a book that explains things in simple, clear terms and has just enough depth of explanation that you can understand why Meteor is so cool. For "advanced beginners" you get a great discussion of the different options for some trickier aspects of Meteor like deployment and under-the-hood Meteor reactivity.I have read several Meteor books and lots and lots of articles about Meteor and I feel that this book gives a great overview of the Meteor platform. I think my favorite part of the book is that it acknowledges where things have more depth than what can fit in the book, which gave me a bunch of direction on where to focus my Google searches to understand Meteor on a more advanced level.Overall, great book if you want to learn Meteor from scratch.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a gentle easy to follow introduction to Meteor. It pretty much does what other books do by leading you through how to create a blog (accounts, permissions, routing etc).The sections on packaging and deployment are clear to understand.Chapter 12 on testing with Velocity is well worth the money spent on the book. This is a great new feature of Meteor which is explained well in the book.It is up to date with the latest version of Meteor.

I am working through the book line-by-line and approximate half-way through the book (Chapter 6). I do not want to wait anymore to write this review since this book may be just what you need if you have any interest in learning meteor. Fabian writes in a very clear and simple style and obviously knows Meteor well.My main motivation in writing the review here is two-fold:1. I read reviews before purchasing any books or materials and more often than not, have benefitted from them. So I want to return the favor by giving an enthusiastic thumbs-up for anyone wanting to learn Meteor.2. I am hoping that Fabian follows up this excellent effort by a more intermediate/advanced text where he addresses the issues that a developer has to tackle in creating real-life production applications. While this book does its job very well in explaining the basics using a running blog example, the same style could be used to write a more advanced text that deals with real-life issues. Almost always that involves using third-party packages, so a demonstration of how to use them in the context of an application would be very useful.I am an experienced Rails developer and am looking to Meteor to make my applications more responsive (or shall we say reactive?) leading to a better user experience. Also, another obvious benefit is the scalability since clients can do more computations and far more important, rendering of pages. As Javascript runtimes in the browsers (also in the servers, e.g. node.js) improve rapidly, it makes no sense to do most of the page rendering on the server. It should be the client.I have gone through other texts on Meteor as well as the official tutorial. This book by far, is the clearest. Fabian, Keep up the great work and follow through on my suggestion :) I will buy a book written by you anytime if the topic is of interest to me as it is here.
