1. METEOR.JS

2. Introduction
What are real time web applications?
Meteor is a Javascript MVVM (Nested MVC)
framework to develop Real-Time web
Applications which uses a node.js container
on the server.

3. What makes Meteor
different?
Data on the wire - instead of HTML
One Language - Javascript
Database Everywhere - Both Client and
Server
Latency Compensation
Full Stack - Reactivity
Embrace the Ecosystem
Simplicity = Productivity

4. One LanguageJavascript
Write both the server and client part of your
interface in javascript

5. Database Everywhere
Use the same Transparent API to access your
database from the client and the server

6. Data on the Wire
Don’t send HTML over the network, Send data
and let the client decide how to render it.

7. Latency Compensation
On the Client use Prefetching and Model
Simulation to make it look like you have a
zero-latency connection to the database
Cached-Synchronized data model
Comet programming instead of Ajax

8. Default Packages used
Handlebars Templates
MongoDB-document oriented NOSQL
Database

9. To use Different
Packages
Meteor supports Smart Packages (But doesn’t
support Node Package Manager (NPM))
Meteorite is an independent Meteor Package
manager - Had to be installed seperately
Atmosphere Smart Packages can be installed
using Meteorite
