What you need for this book

To follow the examples in the chapters, you will need a text editor to write the code. I highly recommend Sublime Text as your IDE, as it has a wide range of plugins for almost every task a web developer could think of.

You will also need a modern browser to see your results. As many examples use the browser console to make changes to the database and to see the results of the code snippets, I recommend Google Chrome. Its Developer tools web inspector has everything a web developer needs to work and debug websites with ease.

Additionally, you can use Git and GitHub to store your success every step along the way and in order to go back to the previous versions of your code.

The code examples for each chapter will also be available on GitHub at https://github.com/frozeman/book-building-single-page-web-apps-with-meteor, where each commit in this repository correlates with one chapter of the book, giving you an easy way to see what was added and removed in each step along the way.
