First Portland Meteor Meetup Feat. PhoneGap Team

Yesterday I hosted the fisrt Meteor meetup in Portland. We had an incredibly interesting crowd already and then PhoneGap team joined us to make it even more awesome!

tl;dr

An amazing group of 20 showed up representing all the possible age, interest and experience groups. For the first time since I started giving talks about Meteor, half a year ago, I was not the only one to present an app written using Meteor – John Brown showed us his creation – WritinGoal.

I have had more fun programming with Meteor than I have in quite a while.
