Very good teacher and very good practice examples! More theoretical explanations on how the framework works would have been welcomed (where the templates of the packages dowloaded are stored for instance) !!

Excellent course, good pacing and explanation of concepts.
Tim D –
Good course. Gave me the kind of information I was looking for without spending a lot of time on tangents that would only be applicable in a few small cases. Well done.
Juan C S –
Even though, I love the course and how it is taught, the new version of Meteor (Mac OS version) behaves differently from the version used in the course and it gave me lots of problems. I think that it should be updated or use another software.
Anders N –
Example code and lectures are out of date and its not possible to get the old version of Meteor.js that fits the example code and lectures.
Balwant S –
I always wanted to get a quick introduction to Meteor.js and I managed to to it in three days with the help of this course. Very well explained with a lot of examples, trial and error and very little repetition. Loved it!
Lucas E S –
Good course, needs some updates since the main tool used (Meteor.js) has been updated since the course launched and is different from what some lessons portray. Also the course catalog page still shows 2 big assignments for this course, which has been changed to 4 small ones, so everything about it really needs to be updated.

very useful courses, now I knew something about meteor,which is a very powerful and convenient tools to develop applications, no matter which platform you choose, web application and mobile application, meteor can always give you a vary good experience of development! I’d like to learn more deeply about meteor and responsive web design.

Good intro to meteor.
Richard N –
I like the course, but I think the assignments should be more difficult. Perhaps the assignment should be built upon over the course of the class, with the final assignment fully realizing the end product.
Roman S –
Great insights into the world of Meteorjs!

No Support or response provided from this University when an issues arose with the course materials. No real effective way to get meaningful help

REALLY good course! Glad to just have Dr. Yee–King now, he is simply fantastic! Asides from that, assignments are getting a bit better!
Moises P –
The courses is ok. It would be better if the instructor explains Meteor and MongoDB using the documentation. I didn’t like the long quizzes and the homeworks were too easy like the previous courses. I would give 4 stars if the course were updated with the latest version of Meteor or at least a newer version, but I could learn how easy and powerful is the framework.
Keith C –
Unfortunately I can’t give this course a higher grade because of the issues I (and many others, looking at the forums) had in setting up & using Meteor on Windows. This caused me a lot of lost time, to the point where I almost gave up altogether. Furthermore, there are many mistakes & errors in the course itself, which dropped me marks & made for an overall much poorer learning experience compared to the previous 2 courses in the series. As a result of my horrible experience with this course I won’t be taking any more in the series (I can’t risk dropping out because of course–related issues) , but will look to pickup web development with another provider, such as Udacity. This course needs a thorough staff review and all it’s issues sorting out.
David T –
The course videos are helpful and good to watch and I have no doubt that this once was relevant. However I cannot give more than 3 stars as these videos relate to an earlier version of meteor. If you want hassle free then learn how to install that version and not the newer version because you will spend more time getting the code examples to work than actually learning. A shame
sarish b –
this is a good course but quite old..please upload new vwesion of videos or the videos of meteor used in new version
Axel G –
The topic was very well presented and usefull examples given. But a newer version of the software caused trouble sometimes, so I had to study the Dicussions for a solution.

Nobody is checking the course content, it hasn’t been updated in years. Although the very most recent version of Meteor is finally usable on Windows, the version used in the code is extremely slow. Worse, the result of the code by the end of the course is buggy and broken. The previous courses in this series are still relevant, but do not take this one or the next.
Carlos L –
I would like to review how to install meteor on an apache server on a website provider
Roy H –
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.

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

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