This document provides an overview of the Meteor.js platform for rapid application development. It discusses what Meteor is, the features it provides for building modern web and mobile apps with JavaScript, including instant response, reactive UIs, fast load times and support for multiple platforms. It also covers how Meteor achieves these using its distributed data protocol and Blaze/Tracker libraries, and why developers should use Meteor due to its support for realtime functionality, unified language, database everywhere, package system and full stack reactivity.
