What Is Vue.js?

What is Vue.js? In short, it’s a progressive framework for building user interfaces using HTML and JavaScript. If you’d like a more detailed explanation, watch this quick video from my course, A Designer’s Introduction to Vue.js.

What Is Vue.js?

Getting Started With Vue.js

Let’s talk briefly about what the Vue.js framework is and how we can get started using it. The Vue.js website has a lot of useful information about Vue, including the full documentation for the framework. 

Once you get to the website, you can click on the Get Started link to see some information on what you need to do to start using Vue.js.

So Vue.js is a JavaScript framework that makes it really easy to bind data to your HTML. Now, this course is aimed towards web designers, so we’re not going to get into a whole lot of detail about where that data is coming from. But we are going to talk about how to use that data to build websites. 

On this getting started page, if you scroll down a little bit, you can see a script tag which has a CDN link for the Vue framework.

This CDN link is what we’re going to be using in this course. There’s also a command-line interface (CLI) that you can use with Vue if you’ve got Node.js installed on your system. And that will allow you to build your own Vue projects locally using Node.
