Build Applications with Meteor: Isomorphic JavaScript web development

Build a variety of cross-platform applications with the world's most complete full-stack JavaScript framework— Meteor

• * Develop a set of real-world applications each exploring different features of Meteor
• * Make your app more appealing by adding reactivity and responsiveness to it
• * Work with the most powerful feature of Meteor—the “full stack reactivity”—through building real-time applications with many third party libraries

This book starts with the basic installation and overview of the main components in Meteor. You’ll get hands-on multiple versatile applications covering a wide range of topics from adding a front-end views with the hottest rendering technology React to implementing a microservices oriented architecture.All the code is written with ES6/7 which is the latest significantly improved JavaScript language.
