jquery compatibility is huge, awesome!

I am a new developer. I've used meteor for a couple toy projects, and found it really easy to get started. past the basics however, I found it really hard to get answers. I'm currently trying to write a simple backbone + node app to get my head around all the things meteor does automagically.

Are there any plans for learning resources coming from the meteor team?

Discover Meteor is great - another recommendation.

Recently rebuilt a client app in Meteor, ran into a few hurdles that I think are just part of the learning curve.

A few times I have come to the github wiki page & found some helpful tips: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki

http://www.meteorpedia.com/ is in pretty active development, lots of links and the guys who run it are active on the Google Group also.

A great learning resource is Discover Meteor - http://www.discovermeteor.com (purchase required, but great value for money, as it's been regularly updated since its release).

The videos on Evented Mind are fantastic to learn from as well - https://www.eventedmind.com (recently introduced a subscription model, though, some of the videos are still free to play).

Meteor should just use some of that $12MM to give this book away.
Also a Pluralsight course.

I will try it out this weekend.

EventedMind is an excellent resource when you're ready to master Meteor. Chris goes into a lot of depth on each topic.
Another hearty recommendation for Discover Meteor.
