Vue CLI is an excellent tool for building, scaffolding and otherwise not-worrying-about setting up your Vue application. Given its official support, it's the standard way to spin up a new Vue application. One of the central selling points of Vue CLI is that it takes care of a lot of the configuration for you so that you don't have to manage fiddly webpack settings just to get your project up and running.

The core concept of a Web Component is similar to that of components in frameworks such as React, Angular or Vue. It is a reusable UI building block that encapsulates all the HTML, CSS and any JavaScript-based logic required to render it. The big difference is that instead of relying on a specific JavaScript framework it leverages technologies natively provided by the browser so that your Web Components are framework agnostic. The technologies that Web Components leverage from the browser are features such as Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, ES Modules and HTML Templates.

Vue.js is an up and coming framework in the the front-end Javascript ecosystem. Experienced software developers must consider how Vue is built in order to understand how it scales. Moving forward we will explore the internals of Vue and see what the constraints are for building fast, scalable applications.

Learning is a unique experience. It requires relating our previous background to new concepts and patterns.

Recollection can be a little different and thus, learning requires varied approaches.

Vue.js is a versatile and approachable framework for building modern JavaScript applications. You can start out by simply adding a script tag with some vanilla JS. Or you can go all-in and create a modern JavaScript application with all the trimmings using a build system such as Webpack. However, the latter requires a fair bit of configuration knowledge so it doesn't quite fit the mantra of easily approachable, especially for people who are just starting to explore the world of modern JavaScript applications.

Although we usually know what components are needed when building most views within an app, sometimes we don't know what they are until runtime. This means we need to build a screen based on the application state, user preferences, or response from an API. A common case is building dynamic forms, where the questions and components needed are either configured by a JSON object, or where fields change based on the users' answers.
