I, too, was lucky enough to get in on the preview and read most of the book. I've read a couple of these books and this one takes the cake. It's huge, very thorough, and incredibly easy to follow along. If you're thinking about getting into Meteor, you should definitely grab a copy. It's a really easy read that teaches you a lot. Oh, and Meteor is sexy, I'm glad you're a fan Richard. I'm a big fan of your site and can't wait to see you get engulf in the Meteor hysteria. :)

I am glad to hear you are a fan of the blog, Cory. I am somewhat surprised you are all over Meteor already :), and you probably think the same thing of me :) There will be Meteor hysteria for sure, but I don't know if it will happen so soon, although this book will help quite a bit.

  Another huge fan of your blog, Richard. Your blog represents one of the single best locations on the web for excellent road maps for learning web development. It is immensely helpful to go through the material that you've already vetted rather than waste time and energy finding and trying the plethora of books, tutorials, videos, sites, etc. For beginners it's incredibly overwhelming but your site helps show us the path and put us on it. It's still a lot of work, but at least we feel that as long as we follow your recommendations we'll make steady progress toward our goal of becoming Web Engineers. I can't wait to read your upcoming post about Meteor!
