Tonight's meetup consisted of two separate talks. The meeting started with a delicious snack I've never had before: Pork Puppies.

In one year four developers where able to ship forty projects.

Pros

• Package namespacing
• Just JavaScript - jQuery, the gateway drug [to hardcore JavaScript]
• More than a framework
  • shared code (frontend and backend)
  • build tools
• Great community - http://devshop.meteor.com/

Hosting

• http://docs.meteor.com/#deploying
• https://www.heroku.com/ - tricky with more than one dyno due to sticky sessions
• https://modulus.io/ (using https://www.compose.io/ for data)

Testing
