Enhancing Web Pages with VueJS: When You Don’t Need a full SPA

Creating large, monolithic SPAs is all the rage, not all solutions need a single page application. I found that improving parts of my web projects with islands of functionality was better in many cases, but the complexity of Angular and my hatred of .jsx made me yearn for a modern framework that is simple and straightforward. That’s where VueJS came in and saved the day. In this talk I’ll build a simple page using VueJS and then talk about using it is larger projects without having to use bundling and transpilers if you don’t want to.
