Objectives

Let's look at MeteorJS

an "all Javascript" full-stack development environment

front-end HTML/CSS/JS, Node middleware, MongoDB back-end

how do we use this?

where/when/why do we use this?

Summary

MeteorJS is best for...

... situations where I don't want to get "in between" the UI and the database

in other words, treat it as a black box

... where I'm comfortable with JS v.Now and v.Next
