Hello there! I’ve decided to make a little video series helping newcomers to Meteor jump-start their skills. I tried to recreate the same experience I had when I began my Meteor journey reading Your First Meteor Application and watching @stolinski series.
The series is laser-focused on Meteor’s bread & butter: publications and methods. It doesn’t teach JavaScript, CSS, or any of that stuff. I recommend it to anyone starting out with Meteor or even a seasoned JS developer who wants to get up and running with Meteor quickly.
I also tried to lay the groundwork and get things correct from the get-go. I emphasize proper naming conventions, directory structure, security, and discourage the overuse of publications. These are the things I missed dearly when I began my Meteor journey, so I wanted to set the record straight this time. I remember I used to return all records in publications 
until I learned that’s a huge security flaw.
It’s important to clarify that there are multiple ways to skin a cat, so I’m merely explaining the way I’d go about building a Meteor application. I still use Blaze. I understand you might favor different ways or different tools, but this is my way, not the way.
There’s huge room for improvement for sure, but I didn’t want to get stuck in analysis paralysis or spend too much time learning video editing. That’s why I opted to record my voice and video at the same time, so pardon any mistakes. I was sure to give a shout out to @copleykj & packosphere.com and promote the good deeds of prominent community members.
If you appreciate this and would like me to continue my endeavors, you can support me via GitHub Sponsors.
