Book Description

Since its release in 2014, Vue.js has seen a meteoric rise to popularity and is is now considered one of the primary front-end frameworks, and not without good reason. Its component-based architecture was designed to be flexible and easy to adopt, making it just as easy to integrate into projects and use alongside non-Vue code as it is to build complex client-side applications.

If you're an experienced developer looking to make a start with Vue, this book is for you. It provides a rapid introduction to the key topics that you'll need to understand. It contains:

  • Getting up and Running with the Vue.js 2.0 Framework by Jack Franklin
  • Getting Started with Vuex: a Beginner's Guide by Michael Wanyoike
  • A Beginner's Guide to Vue CLI by Ahmed Bouchefra
  • A Beginner's Guide to Working With Components in Vue by Kingsley Silas
  • A Beginner's Guide to Working with Forms in Vue by Kingsley Silas
  • How to Conditionally Apply a CSS Class in Vue.js by Chad Campbell
  • How to Replace jQuery with Vue by Nilson Jacques
  • Nuxt.js: a Minimalist Framework for Creating Universal Vue.js Apps by Olayinka Omole
  • Optimize the Performance of a Vue App with Async Components by Michiel Mulders
