VueJS [1]: The last front-end framework you will ever need

VueJS is the new contender for 'best front end framework' and is running a very close second place to React in popularity amongst knowledgable developers. It is gaining mindshare and has incredible momentum, all for very good reasons!

Join us for this introductory, full day workshop in which we fully explore everything that makes VueJS the last framework you will ever learn … because you won't ever want to use anything else again!

Upon completion, you will be armed with the skills and knowledge to create sophisticated VueJS components that:

  • Define and use dynamic data constructs
  • Dynamically update data views, content and styling based on realtime changes to data
  • Animate transitions between views as well as when elements are added and removed from the view
  • Define and dynamically invoke event handlers generated by UI elements
  • Use Vuetify: amazing, mature and visually appealing UI widget library based on Material Design
  • Install, configure and use the Vue Router.
  • Install, configure and use Vuex to provide centralized application data management a la Redux

We will also explore deployment options and productionization of your application.

I look forward to sharing this amazing new contender in the front-end SPA framework space!


Michael Carducci

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.
