TechTalk #63: Rapid Prototyping With MeteorJS

Meteor allows you to express your ideas without concern over the details, it’s nice not having to think about that stuff while you’re busy creating something. You can get into that when you’re ready to. This makes it possible to put together a working prototype in just a few hours. Meteor is a platform built on top of Node.js for building real-time web apps. It’s what sits between your app’s database and its user interface and makes sure that both are kept in sync. Since it’s built on Node.js, Meteor uses JavaScript on both the client and on the server. What’s more, Meteor is also able to share code between both environments. The result of all this is a platform that manages to be very powerful and very simple by abstracting away many of the usual hassles and pitfalls of web app development.
