Getting started with Meteor.js

On first glance I thought this was a joke:

"Required

Javascript - JS first?! Yes soldier, don't question me again or I will karate chop you!

Shell (Terminal)

HTML & CSS

JSON

MongoDB

Handlebars

Git & GitHub

jQuery

LESS and/or SASS

Underscore and/or Lo-Dash

Bootstrap

NodeJS

Cordova

ElasticSearch

Ionic - Meteor Package Meteoric "

Then immediately following, "Now that you know the above you are deemed worthy to tap into the power and awesomeness of Meteor!"

Meteor's probably a good framework (I wouldn't know one way or the other since I haven't tried it), but from that summary it doesn't seem like an easy sell to someone looking for a framework to use.

The author was trying to point out how many different pieces you'd have to hack together to get to the equivalent of what Meteor gives you out of the box.

So no, you don't need to install all that other stuff to use Meteor if that's what you took the author to mean.

GitHub as a requirement? So, I can't write a Meteor app without GitHub? :(
