🎤 Vue 3 — New features, Breaking changes & a Migration path
👨🏼‍🏫 Fotis Adamakis, Senior Front-end Engineer @ Glovo

Vue 3 is here and everyone is looking for a way to migrate and start using it as soon as possible. There are several new features but also a lot of work done to improve performance and bundle size under the hood which makes this version a real candidate for the best client-side framework out there. The catch? New syntax, deprecations, and some breaking changes might make your migration plan slightly harder than expected. What's changing? Should I migrate? Which version do I choose for a new project? This talk will answer these and many more of your questions.

Having worked with almost every popular front-end framework in the past 10 years, Fotis found Vue 2 years ago and never looked back.
