Vue.js is a popular JavaScript framework that can be used to build interactive components or entire single-page apps. It's a powerful and flexible framework for the modern web designer—whether you use a little of it or a lot. In this course, Joe Chellman offers practical ways to incorporate Vue.js in real-world web designs. He introduces three small projects that benefit from Vue: a real-time updating product customizer that shows how to manage data and respond to events with Vue; an employee directory using Vue forms and animation; and a status board that makes external API calls and uses a third-party Vue component. Each project demonstrates what makes Vue most interesting and useful to web designers and provides solutions for dealing with the few unique challenges.

Topics include:

• Installing Vue.js and Vue devtools
• Creating interactive components
• Adding data to components
• Listening for events
• Scaffolding components
• Building and wiring forms
• Animating transitions
• Incorporating live data via REST APIs
• Adding third-party Vue components
