Last year I started playing around with Meteor, a new javascript framework. I didn’t get much further than playing with and tweaking sample applications.

When it came time to start creating my own app in Meteor though, I was a bit lost. I didn’t really know where to start.

I was given a copy of Instant Meteor Javascript Framework Starter which I read over the weekend. The book was a good read – I especially enjoyed the opening chapters which covered what Meteor is and why it’s cool, better than the official Meteor docs cover.

It covered all the Meteor basics well, and I would recommend the book to anyone who wants to get started building their own app with Meteor. Reading it has gotten me excited about Meteor again!
