This book filled in many missing pieces for me. Meteor is one of those frameworks where you can build something really slick, really fast, without necessarily understanding some of the underlying components. This has been my experience. I built an app in a couple days, it worked really well, I had a lot of fun, but then when I'd go in the Meteor forums or listen to the Meteor podcasts, I felt a bit lost. Wanting to up my game, I thought the best way might be to study JavaScript, Mongo and Node more in depth. This helped, but there were still parts of Meteor that seemed like dark magic. I found the author's explanations of how Blaze and Tracker work with oplog and MiniMongo much easier to understand.The first chapter has the reader create an application using standard Meteor with simple routing. Subsequent chapters have the reader recreating that app, or building out new apps using new techniques and tools. The timing of this book could have been unfortunate given that Meteor is undergoing some changes prior to 1.3. The author spends time on Iron Router and Velocity... which seem to be in the process of deprecation.(...) and (...) . However, those components have a strong footprint in existing apps, and the author does cover Flow Router. If you already develop in AngularJS and React, or would like to use them instead of Blaze, they are covered in their own sections. Finally, topics like animation and mobile app development are covered... ones that are a little more difficult to find on the web in the forms of tutorials.FWIW, I purchased this as an ebook from the publisher prior to its release. It has exceeded my expectations.

A must have for Meteor JS developer!All you need to know to create great and professional apps with Meteor is in it. The book is really helpful, even for an advanced Meteor JS developer.We start with a little app to build, then we increase our skills by adding debug and tests. After that, let's split the application into reusable packages.Also, the book explain how to use other JS technos with Meteor (like React, Angular, but also D3.Of course, some chapters explains you how to deploy and maintain your app after build it, with SSL support, scalability and other advanced stuff.Even if a lot of documentation is available online, this is really the missing MeteorJS book!A really thanks to the author, Jebin B V, for his work which reflect, I think, his passion for the great web development in JS.Great job!

Coming from the PHP environment, I always was reluctant to change my habits and switch to Javascript (which in my mind was not well suited to server-side operations). This was before I discovered MeteorJS. After having completed some video tutorials on the net, I was convinced that meteor was the way to go.However when you really dive into building a complex application you're quickly stuck on real life concerns such as:* how to structure your code (file organization, packages),* how to manage your data schema to ease maintenance,* how to integrate with other client-side libraries (such as D3) or frameworks (for instance Angular),* and of course how to test and deployThis "Mastering MeteorJS Application Developpement" book covers it all in a clear way.Though I still consider myself a newbie in the MeteorJS planet, I feel confident that this book will be a great asset in my journey to MeteorJS developpment. How do I know ? Well it's simple, each time I tried to use MeteorJS for real life applications I found out that I needed a deeper understanding of some packages, or some MeteorJS insights, or just wondering how to organize my work... and it turned out that this book covers most of the topics I had on my "to-do/to-learn list".I would then recommend to use this tool in 2 different manners:* as an advanced course on improving your workflow, learn best practices, and point to great add-on packages available on the Atmosphere* as a reference guide for the subjects coveredAs a conclusion, I recommend this book for those having a good background on MeteorJS and who want to imporve their workflow to become more efficient and produce better code.(As the previous reviewer, I bought this book as an ebook before release, and I'm not disappointed)

The book offers a good amount of information about how MeteorJS works, and how to use tools to develop for the framework in a professional way. It presents the information fairly clearly, despite many glaringly obvious grammatical and spelling mistakes. There are only a few points where the author was hard to understand. Some of my favorite sections of the book were where the author explains how Tracker works in great detail, as well as how to package, deploy, and scale MeteorJS applications using several different methods.

Save your money. This book is not worthless but close. Meteor in Action by Hochhaus and Schoebel is a better reference.
