#Meteor Cookbook
========================================
###Cookbook - Table of Contents
The Meteor Cookbook is a FAQ and tutorial culled and curated from nearly 3 years of emails and discussions from the [meteor] google group and my experiences rolling out packages and apps with mongo and D3. These documents are intended for the intermediate user learning Meteor, who is accustomed to a) object-oriented frameworks and languages, such as Java and C#, and b) relational databases and data structures derived from SQL table schemas. The focus is on helping the user grow accustomed to functional programming using document oriented databases.
========================================
The StarryNight Utility
Eventually, there were so many scripts in the Cookbook that it made sense to start putting them into a utility. StarryNight has dozens of bells-and-whistles that aren't in the core platform... tools to help the package authoring workflow, refactoring code, installing a dev environment, testing your app, security/performance auditing, and so forth. Think of StarryNight as a framework utility that extends the core platform tools.

###Example Apps
The recipes in the Cookbook are great, but often times it's just best to go look at actual applications to see how everything fits together. Here you'll find nearly two dozen applets (and more in the works!) to help you get started building your own apps.
========================================
Clinical Meteor Track
The Cookbook is closely associated with the Clinical Meteor Track project... an effort to create a version of Meteor designed for biomedical, clinical, and healthcare applications that can be HIPAA compliant and pass FDA/CCHIT regulatory review. Check out the project page to learn more, and be aware that these two projects are being run in parallel.
======================================== ###Clinical Meteor Track - Examples
There are a number of example clinical apps as well. Check these out if you're building in the biomedical or healthcare space.
======================================== ###Clinical Meteor Architecture
This section is in the works, and will document the architecture behind creating HIPAA compliant apps with Meteor that can pass FDA/CCHIT review.
======================================== ###Contributing
Pull requests with typo corrections and copyediting are nearly always accepted.
Most of the main development right now is in migrating cookbook recipes into components, packaging them up, and/or moving them into the StarryNight utility. The cookbook is on it's way to becoming the documentation for a Clinical Framework running on Meteor.
