Learn Nodejs

Learn Meteor and Build a real-time polling app Install Meteor download for windows: https://install.meteor.com/windows install for osx/linux: curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh open cmd and type meteor --version Meteor comes with a few demo applications that you can try out. If you want to check out a few demo apps now, you can go into your command line and grab the demo application using: // todo sample app meteor create --example todos // example mobile application meteor create --example localmarket Once you create a demo app, just cd into that project and run the application with: meteor This will grab the necessary packages, bundle all the css and js, start your application using a Node server, and make it viewable in your browser. http://localhost:3000 Here is the sample Todos application which is quite good looking: meteor-demo-todos Definitely click around the files in these demo applications and you’ll see how Meteor apps tick. Let’s move onto creating our own application now. Create a New Application With our newly installed Meteor CLI tools, we can easily create a new application with: meteor create polling meteor-create-new-app polling will be the name of our new application and it will be created in a new polling/ folder. This command will create 3 new files and a folder: | .meteor/ // holds information about our project | polling.css // the css for our project | polling.html // the overall template | polling.js // javascript for the client and server This is a very barebones setup and will not be how we structure our application, but it is useful to see how a very simple application can be built. You can run this app by cding into your new project and starting your meteor app with: meteor Then you can view it in the browser at http://localhost:3000 meteor-new-app-barebones for More Meteor Application #StayConnected
