Create impressive web applications with real-time capabilities using
Meteor.js, a full-stack JavaScript framework designed to drastically
simplify development time and complexity.
No server-side or database programming experience is required, but you do need to have basic to intermediate JavaScript skills.
If
you come from a different background such as PHP and MySQL, this course
will get you up and running with current web trends such as the
connected client approach, reactive user interfaces, real-time apps and No-SQL databases.

What is Meteor.js?
Meteor.js
is an Open Source framework to create full-stack JavaScript
applications in a fraction of the time. Through out this course you will
learn, from total scratch, how to use Meteor to create highly
interactive webapps.
One of the main features of Meteor is that is
allows the easy creation of real-time apps, where changes in the server
database are propagated to all connected clients.
Think of how Facebook and Google Docs show real-time alerts and changes made by other users.
