Meteor Cookbook!

##Meteor Cookbook

Hi. Welcome to the Meteor Cookbook; a FAQ and tutorial culled and curated from over 2 years of emails and discussions from the [meteor] google group and my experiences rolling out packages and apps. These documents are intended for the intermediate user learning Meteor, who is accustomed to a) object-oriented frameworks and languages, such as Java and C#, and b) relational databases and data structures derived from SQL table schemas. The focus is on helping the user grow accustomed to functional programming using document oriented databases.

========================================

Build A Weblog!

With version 1.0 of Meteor having been released, the Meteor Cookbook is getting a rewrite to bring all of it's examples and recipes up to 1.0 status. The default application that all the examples build towards is creating a weblog; which can then be used as the basis of self-publishing, online journals & diaries, bulletin board systems, chat rooms, advocacy platforms, electronic medical records, personal health & fitness records, quantified-self applications, or any other application that might need a weblog. (Edit: the rewrite is still in progress, and all the pieces of the weblog are still being put together. Expect a finished weblog example in mid February!)

========================================

Clinical Meteor Track

Meteor Cookbook is the official documentation of the Clinical Meteor Track project... a version of Meteor designed for biomedical, clinical, and healthcare applications. Check out the project page to learn more, and be aware that these two projects are being run in parallel.
