Meteor makes it easy to perform a range of tasks. By easy, I mean it can be achieved with a small amount of code. This is good for a beginner as it minimises bugs and maximises clarity. With Meteor, every line seems necessary. Other frameworks often have you pasting bits of code you don’t understand.

Instead of using a combination of tools, the meteor tool lets you create, run and deploy your app.

meteor create myapp
cd myapp
meteor

The community is actively growing itself by providing learning resources. The Meteor website provides a brief list of learning resources. A list of Meteor learning resources can also be found on this site.

Generally it’s pretty easy to find the answer to your question. Googling often returns aStackOverflow question or a writeup on a blog. When you can’t find what you’re looking for, post a question in the Google group, Meteor talk and you’ll usually get a response within a day.

Deploying can often be a nightmare for new developers who are terrified by servers, Apache and the like. Meteor makes it extremely easy to stage.

meteor deploy myapp.meteor.com

Gives you a working copy of your app at http://myapp.meteor.com.

If you wan to deploy on another server, Meteor Up makes it very easy and Modulus is another great solution.

Pre-built solutions are a lifesaver for newbies. AtmosphereJS is the friendly interface where you can search for packages that do almost anything from adding an admin dashboard to push notifications for mobile.
