2. Meteor is a full-stack JavaScript framework
for quickly creating
fast, realtime web applications.

3. Seven Principles
• Data on the wire. Client crafts all the HTML.
• One language. Client + server + database = all JS
• Database everywhere. Same API at client, server
• Latency compensation. Fake it till you make it
• Full Stack Reactivity. “Real-time” is the default
• Embrace the Ecosystem. Integrate before replace
• Simplicity = Productivity. Clean and classic APIs

4. The Meteor magic
• Reactive programming
• Automatic includes
• Minification and concatenation in production
• $ meteor deploy
• Smart packages
• Spiderable

5. MVVM
(Model View View-Model)
