State of Vue: Mastering Vuex and Vue Architecture

Since vue componets are just javascript, html and css; the core concepts can be picked up very quickly. Once you move beyond simple components things can get a little complicated. This session covers application architecture best practices and building complex, stateful apps leveraging Vuex.

Vue prides itself as not being “opinionated” which gives developers some flexibility, but what are the app architecture best practices? What if component A should update component B? Resist the urge to hack together communication channels, it's time to start manging state with the official state management library, vuex. Vuex is a state management pattern + library for Vue.js applications. It serves as a centralized store for all the components in an application, with rules ensuring that the state can only be mutated in a predictable fashion. It also integrates with Vue's official devtools extension to provide advanced features such as zero-config time-travel debugging and state snapshot export / import.

About Michael Carducci

Michael Carducci spent years learning to see things as they actually are; first as a magician, then as a software architect, now as both simultaneously. And somehow that’s not even the whole story.

He’s the author of Mastering Software Architecture (Apress, 2025) and is currently writing The Semantic Layer. He has spent over 25 years following interesting problems; through roles from individual contributor to CTO and back again, across industries and continents.

As a speaker, he applies the same toolkit he uses in close-up magic: attention, misdirection, timing, storytelling, and the instinct to take the long way around when that’s where the truth lives. Audiences at hundreds of conferences across four continents have described his talks as the kind that change how you think about a problem rather than just what you know about it.

He also makes YouTube videos about technology and curiosity with his wife Kate, because some ideas are too important (or too interesting!) to leave only in conference rooms.
