L. Laurents Software Engineer

Overall, I got a lot out of this book. The author is clear and concise. Having purchased many templates over the years, some were basic, some were advanced, and bending those to what I needed was a pain. This is a great book for Vue.js in general. If I had read this book before building cloud front ends for over three years, It would have saved me some serious frustrations. It's a good reference book to have around. I am glad I had the chance to review it.

Anton Saienko Front End Developer (Vue.js) at BuyerBridge

This book is a "must-have" to create Real-Web full-scale Applications! The author covers almost everything you would want to know about Vue. There are chapters about testing, deploying, and dockerizing your Vue app! The book is easy to follow and explains all fundamental concepts well. Most importantly, it covers the latest Vue version (Vue 3) and updates! Of course, each chapter goes with nice examples of code. Overall impressions are very good. This is, so far, the best book about Vue that I've read so far. I can recommend it to everybody willing to learn Vue.

Pavan Software Engineer

Clear and Concise introduction on how to build Enterprise Web Applications. This is a good book, and I give it 4 starts. The writing is friendly and not too technical, which makes it accessible for a beginner. The book is not too big and is a good starting point for developing large-scale front-end applications.

Daniel Fernandez Full Stack Software Engineer at Verde Mining

This book would be a great place to begin or continue learning about front-end development with Vue. It is a great starting point for beginners. It can teach intermediate developers a lot about the framework, such as Automated Testing for the framework, deployment of a Vue application, and generally important information about state management, routing, and working with APIs in the framework. It isn't too technical, which makes the reading easy to follow and understand, and by the end, you will have learned how to develop the major parts of a large-scale front-end application. I would recommend the book as solid material for Vue 3 and suggest that if you decide to get this book, follow along through the example applications on your laptop or computer to understand the material better!
