#meteor.js is an open-source platform built on node.js for building reactive web apps quite rapidly. It is designed to allow programmers [a way] to create applications in a modern fashion, using up-to-date paradigms. Thanks to an $11 million dollar budget the time until Meteor will hit v1.0 should not be too long.

Update: It’s been over a year that I compiled a list of the best resources to learn the JavaScript framework Meteor.js and back then it was hard to come by any good reading material on the subject. Fortunately, this has changed quite a bit recently, which is why I decided to give this list a complete makeover.
