Meteor.js

We are using meteor.js to help us code because it lets us combine all of the different languages into Javascript. It makes the coding process smoother and easier. To start using meteor.js, you first need to download it. You need to run the meteor through command prompt. To create a project type:

 meteor create ProjectName

To run the program, go into the ProjectName folder and type meteor:

 cd ProjectName
 meteor

The program will be running at http://localhost:3000. The program will run in real time, so any changes made by one person will be seen by other users. There are several examples of meteor code that are already made including the todos and localmarket apps. Meteor makes the code very efficient and the localmarket app is less than 1000 lines of code. It also is friendly for both web and mobile users, which is important for our project which is a mobile friendly web application. Meteor can be a very useful and time-saving tool.
