If you are looking to learn building single page applications using the latest technologies, here is an interesting book that you should have written by Olga Filipova : Vue.js 2 and Bootstrap 4 Web Development. The book is in more than 300 pages, and published in September 2017 by PacktPub.
Olga started by building a small introduction application and then proceeded to the creation of a fully functional, dynamic responsive web application called ProFitOro where you build a Pomodoro timer combined with office workouts while enabling authentication and collaborative content management.
You will then explore topics such as Vue reactive data binding, reusable components, routing, and Vuex store along with its state, actions, mutations, and getters. Also create Vue applications using both webpack and Nuxt.js templates while exploring cool hot Nuxt.js features such as code splitting and server-side rendering. You will use Jest to test this application, and you will even revive some trigonometry from our secondary school!
While developing the app, you will go through the new grid system of Bootstrap 4 along with Vue.js’ directives. You will connect Vuex store to the Firebase real-time database, data storage, and authentication APIs and use this data later inside the application’s reactive components. Finally, the book will guide you to quickly deploy the application using the Firebase hosting mechanism.
Overall, the book is great and very useful, however not like the title indicates, the book does not stick to Vue.js and bootstrap and goes beyond these to cover all the necessary to build the demo application. Some readers might find this not useful, however that’s what building SPAs is all about, you will find yourself switching from a technology to another.
The eBook is free today only as part of PacktPub free elearning program, offer valid for 18 hours only.
