Meteor project with bootstrap-3

Recently have been dabbling in learning Meteor and doing a quick and dirty project to get my meteorjs development skills up to speed.

Check out the recently uploaded/deployed project:

http://devicebox.meteor.com

The code is in github if you are so inclined to clone the repository...

https://github.com/sunkay/device-safe.git

A great book to learn meteor is discover.meteor.com I personally found this book to be invaluable in jump starting learning the framework and some of its intricacies.

What I like most about Meteor (Meteorjs) framework:

  1. End to End framework to develop application quickly
  2. Integrated mongodb collections which are reactive
  3. Reactive Templates which automatically update when the underlying data changes
  4. Data Syncronization between the front-end and backend. The collection & template integration makes this very clean and powerful
  5. Latency Compensation - This is pretty cool, but I am still trying to figure out the performance characteristics of this...
I like developing in meteorjs framework so far. I have dabbled in Angularjs and looking back, I find developing in angularjs horrendous. The dependency injection model looks cool at first, but the code to accomplish it is absolutely effing complicated.
