Learning Meteor [Part 2]: Introducing the sample app

Yes, code is coming, but first I thought I should write a little about what is being built and how. 

What am I building?

I chose to write an application where users can order lunch. It will have a lists of ingredients, that can be combined into recipes, and then an order will be a number of recipes. Revolutionary.

What to expect from the blog series?

I intend to write posts as I go along with whatever I ran into while developing the app. This is not a tutorial nor a 'best practices' sample, but rather interesting things about meteor from a newbie.

Want to follow along?

Repository available at https://bitbucket.org/farmas/lunch-time. I will add tags so that you can reference the code as it was at the time of each post.

The public site can accessed at http://mylunchtime.herokuapp.com, which will always host the latest code from master. If you go there right now you will see the amazing screen below, I'll get to how we got there in the next post.
