Hey everyone!
So I haven't been posting for a while and again the longer that passed the harder it felt too come up with something post-worthy. I've also been busy lately since I had a project I had to get ready last week and I was sick for almost two weeks with the flu so it was a little harder to put in the work needed. I did however learn a lot from this project and wanted to share what it was about and also to tell about this great platform I was using(other than Steemit😄).
The project was to make a web application and that was pretty much all the directions we received. Our teacher did however recommend a couple of things to help us get started.
One of them being Meteor.

If you haven't heard of it, Meteor is a platform that let's you create JavaScript applications fairly easily with a lot of tutorials online. I chose to go with Meteor because it is easily installed and used. You simply install it on your computer and you're ready to go.
Only downside I could notice there was that Meteor was kind of hard to get working on Windows and I had a lot of different issues when I tried. This was however easily fixed by installing Linux on a Virtual Machine and working from there. It integrates with MongoDB for databases. On the client, Meteor can be used with their own Blaze framework as well as with Angular and React.

After searching through Google for a while for which one I should start learning I finally decided on React and I am pretty happy with my choice. I am definitely going to continue advancing my skills in React.
I really recommend checking out Meteor if you're new to developing web applications like me and want to learn. You can go straight to their website by clicking HERE!
The web application I created was mainly to learn and to get a good grade so it wasn't really something I needed or wanted to use so I never deployed it anywhere. I kinda feel like when I do finally deploy something I want it to be something I am really proud of. I have already started on a new project for myself and I will be working with that now.
It is really impressive what you can do with Meteor and I would recommend to do the tutorials they have just to see the powers of it.
I will be here on Steemit the coming days and I will also be having a small competition here soon so lookout for that!
I hope everyone is well and have a great coming week!
Over and out,
