Vue.js: The best view library you've never heard of

Vue.js (https://vuejs.org/) is a library for building interactive web interfaces. The goal of Vue.js is to provide the benefits of reactive data binding and composable view components with an API that is as simple as possible.

Vue.js itself is not a full-blown framework -- it is focused on the view layer only. It is therefore very easy to pick up and to integrate with other libraries or existing projects. On the other hand, when used in combination with proper tooling and supporting libraries, Vue.js is also perfectly capable of powering sophisticated Single-Page Applications.

Ted Patrick and the team at light.ly (http://light.ly/) have been using Vue.js to build applications for the print and banking industries. This talk will explore Vue basics, creating components, and building larger scale applications with the library.
