I'm still on your "How to Learn Javascript Properly" track, but I've being hearing about Meteor in passing quite a bit lately.

Your recommendation for this book is all that I needed to convince me to take the leap (once I've got the fundamentals down, of course). Thanks for your recommendation and guidance. You've done a great deal to make me feel like I'm meaningfully progressing to a state of professional competency.

I am happy to hear from readers who are following my blog, and most importantly, to hear of their progress. So thanks for your comment, loupeabody.

It appears that you have the passion and determination to follow through with learning JS and then Meteor. You can skip Node.js/Express.js/Backbone.js and go straight to Meteor, if your goal is to develop modern web applications with JS soon (without the lengthy time needed to learn all the libraries and frameworks needed to put a full Node.js app together).
