The Journey of a Package

This month we'll be telling the story of a package developer, and looking at how you can deploy free package demos with Heroku. Check out our speakers:


Paul van Zyl

A long time lover of bright lights, loud noises, and shiny magic boxes, I'm now a co-founder and the CTO at Nona Creative, a digital consultancy based in Cape Town, South Africa.

Free Meteor Hosting with Heroku and MLAB

With all the hype about Galaxy, meteor's free hosting quietly went away. While it's great to have galaxy, it is a little expensive for quickly putting up an open source demo of your latest package, or testing out that idea with a hosted environment.


Jaco Swarts

co-organizer of the Meteor Cape Town meetup, team lead at EdgeCase Software where they build real estate solutions. He's also a javascript enthusiast and freelances on meteor projects in his spare time.

In-place CMS for static websites - a package building journey

I recently completed a single-page static website for a local business, but wanted to take it to the next level and introduce i18n translation as well as simple content management functionality for the client. Instead of switching to WordPress, I decided to roll my own with Meteor. This is a show and tell talk of that journey.
