Syllabus

Introduction and Overview

In this module, we will introduce the Vue.js framework and explore its fundamental concepts. You’ll gain clarity on what Vue.js is, why it's used, and how it compares to other JavaScript tools. This foundational understanding sets the stage for deeper dives in later modules.

Installing Vue.js

In this module, we will explore multiple ways to get started with Vue.js, from using it without installation to setting it up with modern tooling. You’ll learn how to initiate a Vue.js project and become familiar with its folder structure. This ensures you’re ready to begin hands-on development with confidence.

Getting Started with Basic Code

In this module, we will dive into the foundational coding concepts of Vue.js, including creating components, using interpolation, and handling user events. You’ll also explore two-way data binding, conditional rendering, loops, and component reuse. By the end, you'll have the practical skills to start building dynamic Vue applications.

Basic Code Part

In this module, we will expand on Vue’s core capabilities by exploring HTML binding and dynamic styling. You’ll learn how to pass data from parent to child using props and send data back using custom events. These patterns are essential for building responsive and interactive components.

Form and Validation

In this module, we will cover how to build forms in Vue.js—from simple input fields to comprehensive forms with multiple elements. You’ll also learn to validate user input and enhance form usability with dynamic feedback. This ensures data integrity and a better user experience.

Advanced Concepts

In this module, we will explore deeper features of Vue.js that enable powerful, scalable application structures. You’ll learn about computed properties, watchers, and component communication patterns like slots and teleport. These tools will elevate your Vue development skills for building complex, interactive interfaces.

Understanding the Lifecycle Hooks in Vue.js

In this module, we will delve into Vue.js lifecycle hooks, which govern the phases of a component’s existence. You’ll explore key hooks like created, mounted, updated, and unmounted, learning when and why to use each. Mastering these will help you control component logic more effectively throughout its lifecycle.

Routing and API

In this module, we will set up navigation using Vue Router and manage routing scenarios including dynamic paths and 404 handling. You’ll also connect your Vue app to external APIs to retrieve and post data. These skills are essential for building modern, data-driven single-page applications.

Mastering Vue.js with a Project

In this module, we will bring together everything you've learned by working on a practical project that validates form data using an external API. You’ll get hands-on experience in solving real-world problems using Vue.js. This project will solidify your understanding and prepare you for building scalable applications.
