I have recently started looking in to MeteorJS and find it really exciting, any idea if there are good video resources to learn more about it?

edit for clarity

Anyone here transition from a different engineering background (Chemical, Civil, Mechanical..) to software development ? If so, how long did that transition take you until you were proficient enough to be employable? Were you still working during your 'ramp up' ?

I'm really enthused about becoming an iOS dev and have been self learning all year long - from time to time I wonder if it'll actually happen. I've only had one opportunity to get hired as an iOS dev but the job location ended up in another state rather than the my town (LA) as originally discussed. I've had a recruiter tell me I have a strong engr background but not what their clients are looking for.

Given I have 5 years experience working not as a SW dev, and only a pair of iOS apps, am I too risky too hire?
