I am happy to hear from readers who are following my blog, and most importantly, to hear of their progress. So thanks for your comment, loupeabody.

It appears that you have the passion and determination to follow through with learning JS and then Meteor. You can skip Node.js/Express.js/Backbone.js and go straight to Meteor, if your goal is to develop modern web applications with JS soon (without the lengthy time needed to learn all the libraries and frameworks needed to put a full Node.js app together).
