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.

About the Reviewer

Jan-Christian Nikles had already started tinkering around with computers in his teenage years and had developed a strong passion for it. After graduating from high school, he first followed a different path and studied audio engineering, since music plays a big role in his life.

He worked in this business for several years, mostly in television production. But soon enough, he found his way back to his old passion.

Graduating in media computer science at the Beuth University of Applied Science, Berlin, in 2013, Jan worked in multiple companies—agency work, early-stage start-ups, and, most recently, at Meetrics. While coming from a fullstack background originally, he specialized in frontend development with cutting-edge technologies. The fast paced JavaScript ecosystem both overwhelmed and fascinated him, but his fascination lasted eventually. He saw the whole thing starting from Vanilla JS, over the big, messy jQuery era, leading to very sophisticated frameworks that make JavaScript development such a pleasure these days. Jan lives and works in Berlin, Germany, always looking for new and interesting projects.
