Meteor is a powerful framework for web development. This course does a great job giving the base knowledge to get projects running quickly. This course has taught me a lot and is a must take for anyone interested in mastering this framework.

Marvelous course. No way I could have learnt anything like this on my own.

Old material as meteor is not modern and course is recorded in 2015, please upgrade to react or vue

Good course for learning the fundamentals of meteor.

By Oscar on 14-Feb-19

Como introducción no esta mal, pero en una versión antigua. Deberian de actualizar ya el curso.

By Roy H on 11-Feb-19

The course uses an out of date version of meteor.js that has terrible compatibility issues with modern windows systems. It an be impossible to run meteor, or if it can be run it takes 3+ hours to start. Rather than reshoot the videos the lecturers supply users with the out of date install.This course represents the height of university laziness with the coursera platform. If there was any integrity with coursera or this institution they would pull this course and reshoot the videos for the modern version of meteor.js.
