Starting with Meteor

There is a new framework in town and it's built on top of NodeJS. A friend recently introduces me to this new framework, cause he knew that I've been attempting to dive into NodeJS lately and Insisted that I should checkout Meteor. So I did, and it turn out to be an interesting find. Meteor has a lot of potential and the future looks promising.

The future is real-time, the futre is one code fits all. And Meteor has these features and I came to appreciate and like.

Installation

On you linux or unix machines install the latest official Meteor release from your terminal:

curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh

On windows, Download the official Meteor installer here.

Once you've install Meteor, create a new project:

meteor create testapp

Change directory to the project's root folder.

cd testapp

Then type meteor to run it locally and should see this in you terminal:

=> Started proxy.
=> Started MongoDB.
=> Started your app.

=> App running at: http://localhost:3000/

Visit http://localhost:3000/ on your favorite browser and there you go, your very first meteor app.
