Video description

Developers can do wonders with Vue.js — an ecosystem that scales between a library and a full-featured framework. Beginning Vue.js teaches all that you need to know about Vue.js to create modern interactive web applications.

It starts with the basics, such as lists and filters, and then progresses to advanced features such as using Jasmine for testing Vue.js and creating universal applications with Electron. By the end of the course, you will also know how to integrate the Vue.js framework with others.

What You Will Learn

  • Use the basic features of Vue.js to create dynamic and animated lists
  • Identify how to use computed properties

  • Create a REST client and server for Vue.js applications to seamlessly communicate with the Internet
  • Create real-time applications with Electron, Firebase, Feathers, and Horizon
