Vue.js 2 and Bootstrap 4 Web Development

Overview of this book

In this book, we will build a full stack web application right from scratch up to its deployment. We will start by building a small introduction application and then proceed to the creation of a fully functional, dynamic responsive web application called ProFitOro. In this application, we will build a Pomodoro timer combined with office workouts. Besides the Pomodoro timer and ProFitOro workouts will enable authentication and collaborative content management. We will explore topics such as Vue reactive data binding, reusable components, routing, and Vuex store along with its state, actions, mutations, and getters. We will create Vue applications using both webpack and Nuxt.js templates while exploring cool hot Nuxt.js features such as code splitting and server-side rendering. We will use Jest to test this application, and we will even revive some trigonometry from our secondary school! While developing the app, you will go through the new grid system of Bootstrap 4 along with Vue.js’ directives. We will connect Vuex store to the Firebase real-time database, data storage, and authentication APIs and use this data later inside the application’s reactive components. Finally, we will quickly deploy our application using the Firebase hosting mechanism.

Mockups


Now that we have all our nouns and verbs, we can start making connections between all the sections of our application. We can actually start preparing some mockups. Sit down with someone, discuss, explain your idea, and collect feedback. Ask questions. Answer questions. Use a whiteboard, use post-its. Use paper: draw, discard, and redraw again.

I have a good friend called Safura. She is a working student currently studying computer science in Berlin, and we work together in the same team. She is interested in the UI/UX topic. Actually, she will write her master's thesis in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) area. So, we sat together, and I explained the idea of ProFitOro to her. You cannot imagine the number of questions she asked. Then, we started to draw. And to redraw. "And what if….?" redraw again.

This is how the first mockups on paper looked:
