+# Intro to Meteor.js
+
+## What is [Meteor.js](https://www.meteor.com)?
+* CLI tool (meteor)
+* Library of packages
+* [Open source](https://github.com/meteor/meteor)
+* Built on [Node.js](http://nodejs.org)
+
+## Why Meteor?
+* [Seven Principals of Meteor](http://docs.meteor.com/#sevenprinciples)
+	* Data on the Wire
+	* One language
+	* Database Everywhere
+	* Latency Compensation
+	* Full Stack Reactivity
+	* Embrace the Ecosystem
+	* Simplicity Equals Productivity
+* Meteor sends data between the client and server, not fully rendered HTML.
+* JavaScript on the client and server
+* Same API is used to access the database on the client and server
+* Application appear very fast for the client since Meteor automatically synchronizes models for fast prefetching
+* Live page updates when the database changes, without browser refreshes, thanks to the event-driven interface. Drupal? Wordpress? 
+* Can't reiterate enough the importance of Meteor being [Open source](https://github.com/meteor/meteor)
+* Easy to learn thanks to Meteor's simple and beautiful [API](http://docs.meteor.com/#api)
+* Hot code pushes
+
+## [The More You Know](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3rhQc666Sg0)
+* [Handlebars](http://handlebarsjs.com) is used for HTML templates
+* [MongoDB](http://mongodb.org) is currently used as the database behind Meteor apps. Other database types may be supported in the future.
+* [Atmosphere](https://atmosphere.meteor.com) is a list of additional packages which can installed with [Meteorite](http://oortcloud.github.io/meteorite/). [More info](https://atmosphere.meteor.com/wtf/app).
+	* Note: Meteor 1.0 fully support Atmosphere
+* [Structuring your application](http://docs.meteor.com/#structuringyourapp)
+	* `$ meteor create app-name` uses a skeleton to create a folder named `app-name` and three files, `app-name.html`, `app-name.css`, and `app-name.js`. 
+		* Note: You can update the default skel structure here: `~/.meteor/tools/latest/tools/skel/`
+	* Meteor automatically finds all HTML templates, JavaScript, and CSS in an application and handles processing these
+		* `main.*` files are loaded last at each folder level. Example: `client/main.js` will load after `client/file1.js` and `client/file2.js`.
+		* Files which don't exist in `app-name/client`, app-name/server`, and `app-name/tests` are loaded on the client and server. You can use [isClient](http://docs.meteor.com/#meteor_isclient) and [isServer](http://docs.meteor.com/#meteor_isserver) to separate code to run on only client or server. here is a better way to organize server and client code:
+			* Files in `app-name/client` are only loaded on the client
+			* Files in `app-name/server` are only loaded on the server
+		* Files in the `app-name/private` directory are for static server assets. See [Assets](http://docs.meteor.com/#assets).
+		* Files in the `app-name/lib` directory are loaded first
+		* Files in subdirectories are loaded before files in parent directories
+		* Files are loaded alphabetically by filename in each directory
+		* `app-name/public` is the place to store assets such as common images, `favicon.ico`, and `robots.txt`
+		* `app-name/client/compatibility` is a place to place JavaScript libraries and are executed prior to other client-side JavaScript files
+* `$ meteor deploy myapp.meteor.com` will deploy your app on meteor.com's web infrastructure easily
+* Packages `autopublish` and `insecure` are included in new Meteor apps by default to ease development. You will probably want to remove these and provide your own functions to handle subscriptions and security before deploying your application in production.
+* Want to expose your app's data as an API? See [Collection API](https://github.com/crazytoad/meteor-collectionapi)
+* [Deployment options](http://docs.meteor.com/#deploying)
+* Meteor comes with a number of helpful [packages](http://docs.meteor.com/#packages) to help make development faster. Try `$ meteor list`
+	* [accounts-ui](http://docs.meteor.com/#accountsui) is worth a look
+
+## Demos
+### Installing Meteor
+* `$ curl https://install.meteor.com | sh`
+	* You can use a VM (like at [Digital Ocean](http://digitalocean.com) or [Nitrous.io](http://nitrous.io/) for remote development. See [this blog article](http://www.discovermeteor.com/2013/10/04/meteor-nitrous/) for details on developing Meteor apps on Nitrous.io. [This blog article](http://mark.shropshires.net/blog/developing-meteorjs-apps-ipad) discusses Developing Meteor apps on an iPad with Nitrous.io.
+
+### Installing Meteorite
+* `$ npm install -g meteorite`
+	* You can install npm with [Homebrew](http://brew.sh) ` $ brew install npm	` if you don't already have it installed. 
+
+### Creating an App
+* `$ meteor create my-app`
+
+### Explore Meteor and Meteorite Usage
+* `$ meteor help`
+* `$ meteor help command`
+* `$ mrt add package`
+* `$ mrt install package`
+* `$ mrt update package`
+* `$ meteor run`
+* `$ meteor add`
