TESTIMONIALS

  • Olivier Bracco (Dunkerque, France) - complete beginner in Meteor

    I would like to thank you very much for your Meteor tutorial. Thanks to you, I have made my first Web app! Your explanations are excellent: informative, well written and just at the right time for the learner. The links you give to learn further are also very helpful.

  • Chris Mckernan - DevOps Professional

    I’ve tried several times to learn Meteor and this is probably the 3rd ‘book’ I’ve tried. I’ve got to say I’ve got much further and understood a lot more on what I have read so far than pretty much all the other material out there.
