  3. Nuxt.js - Vue.js on Steroids

Vue.js is an amazing JavaScript framework which you can use to build highly engaging user interfaces and single page applications.

Nuxt.js takes it to the next level!

It's a library for Vue.js (kind of a "framework for a framework") and it adds two major things to Vue.js:

  • Server-side-rendering of your Vue app out of the box
  • Easy Vue app configuration via folders and files

You'll of course learn all the details in this course but the most important takeaway is that Nuxt.js makes the creation of better, more optimized and more capable Vue apps much easier - and all of that whilst adding pretty much no overhead.

In this course, I'll teach you how to create Nuxt/ Vue apps from scratch! We'll build an entire course project and dive into the core features Nuxt.js offers.

By the end of the course, you'll have a complete Vue app, built with Nuxt.js, which can be rendered on the server (or as a static website!) and which is highly optimized.

The course will teach you ...

  • ... what Nuxt.js exactly is and how it's connected to Vue.js
  • ... how you use Nuxt.js to build better Vue apps
  • ... everything you need to know about the "configure via folders & files" approach taken by Nuxt
  • ... different build possibilities like SSR apps, SPAs or a static webpage
  • ... how you build an entire project, including authentication, via Nuxt.js
  • And way more!

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to build engaging, (optionally) server-side-rendered Vue JS apps
  • Anyone who wants to work with Vuejs and follow a minimal-configuration approach
  • Anyone who wants to create static websites with

As a self-taught professional I really know the hard parts and the difficult topics when learning new or improving on already-known languages. This background and experience enable me to focus on the most relevant key concepts and topics. My track record of many 5-star rated courses, more than 1,000,000 students worldwide as well as a successful YouTube channel is the best proof for that.

The most rewarding experience for me is to see how people find new, better jobs, build awesome web applications, work on amazing projects or simply enjoy their hobby with the help of my content. That's why, together with Manuel Lorenz, I founded Academind to offer the best possible learning experience and to share the pleasure of learning with our students.
