This is the first episode of the new Meteor & Svelte tutorial series. By using Meteor and Svelte you can build modern reactive web application with easy.

Meteor is on open source full-stack JavaScript frameworks to build responsive and reactive web, desktop and mobile apps. Meteor is fully based on JavaScript and covers back-end and front-end. This means you can use just one programming language in all parts of your application.

The frameworks makes data management and access extremely easy. It providers full-stack reactivity, allowing your UI to seamlessly reflect the true state of the data which is managed in the back-end with just minimal development effort

On the client side Meteor makes it possible to use modern JavaScript front-end frameworks like Angular, React, Vue, or Svelte. In this tutorial series we’re going to use Svelte exclusively.

Svelte is a new approach to building user interfaces. Whereas traditional frameworks like React and Vue do the bulk of their work in the browser, Svelte shifts that work into a compile step that happens when you build your app.

In this first part of this tutorial series you’ll learn how to get Meteor installed on your system and create a new project from scratch. Let’s get started …

What is Meteor?

Meteor is a reactive, full-stack JavaScript framework that allows developers to write single page web applications, desktop applications, and mobile applications.

One of the core and fundamental concepts of Meteor is reactivity. This feature gives you real-time syncing of data between client and server across all application instances.

Instead of just polling the server for updates every few seconds, a Meteor app is maintaining a low-data connection to the server. This allows the server to send data to the client instantly. All changes of data are reflected to all client instances automatically and without significant delay.

Reactivity is even more: When a piece of data is changed on the client the application is able to render the required UI changes before the data gets sent to the server. For the user that has the effect that UI changes are available instantly without any delay.
