What is Vue?
Well, completely stolen from their website, Vue is defined as:
Vue (pronounced /vjuː/, like view) is a progressive framework for building user interfaces. Unlike other monolithic frameworks, Vue is designed from the ground up to be incrementally adoptable. The core library is focused on the view layer only, and is easy to pick up and integrate with other libraries or existing projects. On the other hand, Vue is also perfectly capable of powering sophisticated Single-Page Applications when used in combination with modern tooling and supporting libraries.
That's helpful... NOT
I know. It's a little wordy. But to help break this definition down a little bit, you should first know what a framework is.
So what is a framework?
A framework is a building block for making websites or web apps. Think of it like somewhat of a template to use. There's a library of predefined functions that you can take advantage of rather than creating everything from scratch.
My favorite analogy that I've heard is; if you're building a car, you're best off buying a wheel rather than try and reinvent it.
Do you have a super digestible and intelligently explained video that I can just watch instead?
Funny you should ask that. I actually do. I made this video demonstrating how I used Vue to build off of my resume that I made using HTML and CSS. If you want to know how I made that, you can watch this video
