DGMD E-28: Single-Page Applications and Interfaces with Vue.js

Single-page applications are built with HTML/CSS and powered by JavaScript-based SPA frameworks such React, Angular, Ember, or Vue.js. In this course, students learn about SPA development via the lens of Vue.js, but we also take a broad look at SPA frameworks to understand the aspects common to each, such as data-binding, components, templates, and routing. By comparing and contrasting the various framework options, students can make informed decisions about which tool or framework is most appropriate for their next project or area of study.
