This book is for developers who want to learn full-stack web application development with Spring Framework 5 and Vue.js 2. It introduces you to the full set of technologies and tools that you need for developing a practical web application. It doesn't assume that you have any prior knowledge of Vue.js or Spring Framework. However, you will be better prepared if you have some basic experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript on the frontend side, and the Java language, servlets, and JDBC on the server side.
