Marcelo Reyna - Meteor Design Patterns

Marcelo Reyna is an industrial engineer and a fellow business owner (RetroSoda LLC). While building his company, he realized many business processes could be automated, which is when he decided to take up programming full time. As soon as he realized that programming is his passion, he dedicated 3 years to deeply understand all the aspects of the Meteor framework and how to take web applications built on this into production. Today, he is an avid programmer involved in the technology start-up scene.

I would like to thank Packt Publishing's team, Llewellyn Rozario, Tushar Gupta, and Adrian Raposo, for giving me the opportunity to write this book. Also, I would like to thank David Ryan Speer and Rohit Mukherjee for their invaluable feedback. I thank my older brother, Reynaldo Reyna Jr, and my father, Reynaldo Reyna, for helping me build RetroSoda 3 years ago; without RetroSoda, I would have never invested so much time in learning how to program. Also, I thank my mother, Elsa Mireya Vazquez, for her constant support in my endeavors and my fiance, Eugenia Perez, for giving me a reason to accomplish greater goals.

I would like to thank my parents and Pratish Mondal for their support.

David Ryan Speer is a web designer and Meteor developer based in Los Angeles, California. He creates applications and websites for small-to-medium-sized companies, non-profit organizations, and for in-office use. With over 10 years of experience in PHP and MySQL development, he and his team completely switched to Meteor development because of its ease of use and rapid development capability. With Meteor, David has created fast and reactive applications in the energy, education, and non-profit sectors.

I would like to thank Lynn, Maxx, and Parker for their continuous love and support, my dad for his analytical and thoughtful mind, my mom for her patience and endless encouragement, and my siblings, Colleen and Jordan, for their boundless creativity.
