In case anyone is wondering, Meteor (http://meteor.com/ http://meteor.com/) is a web framework which promises to make building real time web apps very easy. Its written in javascript and uses the node.js run time but doesn't play nicely with npm packages. Up until a recent version, it had no support but now you can write a wrapper to use a specific package.
Discover Meteor (formally known as "The Meteor Book") is a book that teaches how to build a social news reader called Microscope, a simplified version of Telescope (Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4840032 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4840032).
- sgdesign 13y agoAuthor here. Thanks for the summary! Just a small clarification: the book doesn't teach you how to build Telescope, it teaches you how to build Microscope, a simplified version of Telescope that we built specifically for the book. Microscope's code is a lot cleaner than Telescope's, and is also open-source: http://github.com/DiscoverMeteor/Microscope http://github.com/DiscoverMeteor/Microscope
