This book not only cover Meteor. You're going to learn how to develop professional app along to the best web technologies, from Bootstrap to gRPC.The first chapters are more about how Meteor works and deals with other libraries.Chapter after chapter, this book cover several technologies to help you choose the best ones for your needs.Actually this book is for both Meteor developers and full-stack web developer enthusiast.In spite of some typos, everything is clear and well explained. The book contains lots of exercises that you are encouraged to do to put in practice concepts previously seen.I'm happy to have this book in my library.

I bought this book off the 5-star review and figured it would jump start development with meteor. After going through the first few chapters, I am moving onto the next possible candidate. Most of the source code examples don't work, have typos, and missing end of lines. As well as the source examples being wrong, the source examples are not presented clearly by chopping newline's into the next line of the book etc. I'm not sure if this was a printing error, but it started to become a pain.Overall, this was a brief overview for different sections and I would continue reading if the examples weren't chopped & screwed (remix) in a way. After looking at other books, I clearly recommend going with something else. Just my two cents. Trying to save someone the time of buying this unless code examples that don't work will not bother you.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
