I wrote a book about the Meteor JavaScript framework, which is available for free, but I also sell a video training series that's based on the book: http://meteortips.com

For the sake of shameless self-promotion, I'd also like to suggest my book for anyone who feels Discover Meteor moves a bit too fast: http://meteortips.com/book/ (It's free.) :)

A sequel to my book about the Meteor JavaScript framework. This was the first: http://meteortips.com But since that one just hit its 2nd edition, I'm keen to talk about topics I'm yet to cover. Lots of work ahead thoug

Will get to more advanced stuff one of these days. Next step is to write about mobile development with Meteor. :)

Don't overestimate automated translation. My girlfriend is a native Japanese speaker (and professional translator) and she laughs when she sees the results of Google Translate. Especially for a language like Japanese, nothing's go

Software-wise, just got a few scrappy demos I've thrown together. One creates an RSS feed for YouTube channels so you can subscribe to them as video podcasts. Problem is, it relies on hot-linking Google's servers and I'm sure

There's a lot I plan to revise about it over the coming months, but the scope feels about right. :)

In that regards, it's mostly a matter of simplicity. It's easier for us to work with the devices we have (and love) and to market based on a specific target.

My partner already does "specialise" in translation. She does freelancing for a living. I simply had the theory that it'd be more effective to niche down, and I chose to target iOS because: I'm a user of iOS, I have some

Because we feel like we can offer better service by specialising, since we can test the apps ourselves, etc. We want to give every app a considerable amount of attention so the final result isn't just a translation that "makes sen

Thanks for the kind words, man, Much appreciated. As for your suggestion, I'll have to check out that Udacity course like you suggested. My worry is that the book could become too heavy on the theory within the first few pages — I most

Usually refer to it as just "Meteor" but, in the form of a headline, "Meteor.js" feels a tad more descriptive. Even if someone has never heard of Meteor, they can see that it at least has something to do with JavaScript.

OP is the author of the book. I've been gearing up to release the next set of chapters and figured it might be worth sharing. :)

Absolutely. The sheer simplicity of Meteor is taking me back to the days of hacking together simple web pages with HTML, CSS, and a sprinkling of JavaScript, only now it's possible to build much more feature-rich creations. :)
