Meteor Cookbook. Build elegant full-stack web applications with Meteor, the JavaScript framework that’s redefining web development

Isaac Strack is an speaker, author, inventor, technologist and strong advocate of STEM education. With over 15 years experience in Management Information Systems (MIS) and web/mobile technologies, he enjoys discovering and applying new technologies to make our lives more enjoyable and productive.

An early adopter of Meteor, Isaac is the author of the Packt Publishing book Getting Started With Meteor.js JavaScript Framework, and the recently released Packt Video series Learning Meteor Application Development.

He currently serves on the board of directors for the Wasatch Institute of Technology (https://wasatchinstitute.net), one of Utah’s newest and most innovative high schools, employing a project-based, AGILE teaching methodology known as Next Generation Education.

When Isaac isn’t poking around new JavaScript frameworks, advocating for more and better STEM education in the state of Utah, or playing a mean game of mediocre middle-aged soccer, he is at home with his amazing wife Kirsten and his four daughters, one of which will most certainly rule the world (our money is on the youngest).

I’d like to thank all of the folks at Packt Publishing (especially Shubhangi Dhamgaye) for their patience, diligence, and kindness. I’d also like to thank my most excellent managers, Tim Plumer and Lynn Grillo at Adobe Systems, for never being anything but my personal champions. I’d like to thank Reza Jalili for sharing his enthusiasm, and for turning what could have been a burden into a joyful experience. Thanks and love go out to my family. We’ve been through so much this last year. It’s a miracle and a blessing to have each other, and to need each other. I can’t imagine life without all of you. Lastly, I’d like to thank my Heavenly Father and my Savior. Our hearts and minds are prone to wander. Grace, it seems, is the sweetest, most powerful call home.
