Overview of this book

Building Applications with Spring 5 and Vue.js 2, with its practical approach, helps you become a full-stack web developer. As well as knowing how to write frontend and backend code, a developer has to tackle all problems encountered in the application development life cycle – starting from the simple idea of an application, to the UI and technical designs, and all the way to implementation, testing, production deployment, and monitoring.

Setting up the development environment


Even though we have created the frontend of the Message App inChapter 2Vue.js 2 - It Works in the Way You Expected, and the backend in Chapter 3Spring 5 - The Right Stack for the Job at Hand, and mentioned the usage of VS Code, we haven't talked about how to set up the development environment. In this section, we will go through the tools we're going to use to build the TaskAgile application. However, we won't cover the details of a step-by-step installation of those tools. You can use this section as an overview of the development environment requirement.

Our development environment includes mainly the following parts:

  • Runtime
  • Database
  • Code editor/IDE
  • Source control system
  • Utilities

The runtime for the frontend will be the browser. In our case, it is Chrome. The backend runtime is the JRE (short for Java Runtime Environment), which is included in the JDK (short for Java Development Kit). We use JDK 8 (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/overview...
