Lone Star Software Symposium: Austin - No Fluff Just Stuff

Lone Star Software Symposium: Austin

November 5 - 7, 2021

Vue-licious Web Applications

Saturday - Nov 6 1:30 PM CDT - SALON C

Vue.js, the new kid on the JavaScript framework block is taking the world by storm. Vue has bypassed React in their count of Github stars, alluding to how popular this framework is starting to become. Vue attempts to provide just enough support with libraries like Vuex and the Vue Router, and tooling like the Vue CLI to get developers productive, without aiming to be too opinionated, and too flexible.
If you are curious about Vue, this workshop is for you.

In this workshop we will build a full application using Vue.js. We will start by discussing how you can start working with Vue, all the way to seeing what it takes to build an app with Vue, including communicating with the backend, and routing. List of topics include:

  • Creating Vue.js components
  • Creating component hierarchies
  • props and custom events
  • Smart vs. Dumb components
  • Ajax using axios
  • Routes, routing, and the router-view
  • Forms using Vue.js
  • Using the best practices for naming and project layout
  • Understanding the role of the Vue CLI, and development tools like the Vue Developer Tools for Chrome

If time permits, we will also look into:

  • Unit/integration/e2e testing
  • The Composition API introduced in Vue 3
