  3. What is This technology? • Meteor consist of two things: • A library of packages which consist of pre-written and self-contained modules you may need for your app. • A command-line tool • Its a simple environment for building modern web applications • With meteor you write apps • Written in JavaScript • A better way to build apps By Phillip Luangrath

  4. Why would I use it? • It is a general purpose web framework built for everyone, whether you are just a beginner or expert. • Build top-quality web apps in little time • Wether you’re an expert developer or just getting started • It is stable & reliable • Has built security into the core of meteor • You can write all your codes in JavaScript • You can connect anything to Meteor. • From mobile apps to databases By Phillip Luangrath

  5. Why would I use it? • The main reason to use Meteor would be the speed at which you can develop your apps. • Websites which used to require thousands of lines of code, only take a few hundred in Meteor. It does this by combining three key core features: • Realtimeby Design • Database Access • Latency Compensation With these 3 combined the meteor staff have created a powerful framework with a new approach to programming By Phillip Luangrath

  6. How do I use it? • In meteor, you don’t program routines and functions, you program page elements. • You can create apps using Meteor’s template engine • It is simple • Build app very easily • Takes less time • You would instruct meteor how something should work and it will take care of updating the page in real-time, meaning you wont need to write any manipulation codes, saving you time. • The default template plugin for laying out your components is Handlebars. • In Handlebars, you create templates for your components, and Meteor will process these at runtime and generate dynamic HTML.  • By default, every page it serves is actually a Handlebars template that's kept in sync with the server.
