METEORJS

238Presentation by Almog Koren Apr 14, 2015

WHAT IS METEOR?

• Open source platform for building web and mobile apps in JavaScript

• Built to power the next generation of apps

• Rich user interfaces

• Collaborative multi-user applications

• Cross-platform apps (web, IOS, Android)

• Fast development

239Presentation by Almog Koren Apr 14, 2015

HOW MODERN APPS LOOK & FEEL

• Focus on your app’s unique features instead of wrangling network code, websocket, etc.

• Meteor’s Goal: Facebook-quality apps without Facebook’s money

2310Presentation by Almog Koren Apr 14, 2015

OLD TOOLS DON’T WORK• Modern apps serve data, not html

• Modern apps shouldn’t need a refresh button

• Rails, Django, PHP, ASP.net etc. are difficult to adapt to the new model

2311Presentation by Almog Koren Apr 14, 2015

WHY?

PURE JAVASCRIPTWrite your entire app in pure

JavaScript.

LIVE PAGE UPDATESJust write your templates.

DATA SYNCHRONIZATIONNo more loading your data from

REST endpoints.

2312Presentation by Almog Koren Apr 14, 2015

WHY CONTINUED?

LATENCY

COMPENSATION

Immediate updates no waiting for the server.

HOT CODE PUSHES

Update your app while users are connected.

PRIVILEGED

ENVIRONMENT

2313Presentation by Almog Koren Apr 14, 2015
