Book excerpt: Since its release in 2014, Vue.js has seen a meteoric rise to popularity and is is now considered one of the primary front-end frameworks, and not without good reason. Its component-based architecture was designed to be flexible and easy to adopt, making it just as easy to integrate into projects and use alongside non-Vue code as it is to build complex client-side applications. This book covers a selection of essential tools and skills you'll need while working with Vue. It contains: Setting Up a Vue Development Environment by James Hibbard Five Top Vue Animation Libraries by Maria Antonietta Perna Build Your First Static Site with VuePress by Ivaylo Gerchev Five Vue UI Libraries for Your Next Project by Michiel Mulders Five Handy Tips when Starting Out with Vue by David Bush
