Preface

This book covers the full set of technologies that you need to know about to become a full-stack web developer with Spring and Vue.js. Spring is the most widely used framework for Java programming, and with its latest update to version 5, the framework has undergone some massive changes. Spring supports MVC architectural styles and is the most popular framework of its kind. Along with Spring in this stack, we will use Vue.js. Vue.js is a lightweight JavaScript framework. Since its release, it has managed to establish itself as one of the most popular frameworks for building user interfaces and is seeing a rapid adoption rate. In this book, you'll become familiar with these technologies while learning to develop a practical web application. You'll discover each technology in the full stack as you build an application up, one layer at a time, just as you'd do in a real project. From initial structuring to full deployment, this book provides step-by-step guidance for developing a web application from scratch with Vue.js and Spring. This book takes a very practical approach to becoming a full-stack web developer. You will create the different components of your application as you progress through each chapter. You will walk through the different tools in each of these frameworks to expedite your development cycle. Finally, this book will also demonstrate the key design patterns and best practices that underpin professional full-stack web development.
