This book is truly for beginners. I have been using Vue.js for a while now and have recommended it to colleagues and friends. The way this book breaks down everything you need to understand from technical components to all of the basic functionality of the Vue.js framework is absolutely perfect.My daughter is interested in learning programming and was reading along with me asking questions that were easy for me to explain due the the thoroughness of the information provided to the readers.Something I enjoyed quite a bit was the information on the unit testing with ViTest and the client side validation with VeeValidate. Testing is such an important part of development and I was excited to see that in this book!

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.
Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?
We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.
When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.
How accurate is the publication date?
The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
How will I know when new chapters are ready?
We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.
