Meteor JS 1.0 - Methods Basic Meteor app tutorial series. So we've reached a point where some code really needs to be performed on the server instead of on the client. Namely our game creation code, which relies on a consistent createdAt time attribute. Allowing the client to generate the timestamp opens our app to the risk of the time being set incorrectly, or at least inconsitantly, as it gets the time from the system setup. We are simply moving the function to the cloud. So in our client-side callback...

Meteor Packages Tutorial Create powerful functionality and share it.

The Meteor website and docs makes it easy to get a small app up and running, but where does Meteor fit in compared to other Node frameworks like Express. How does it differ from Ruby on Rails.
