from the ask-hn dept.

A continuation of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13660086 which has been incredibly useful in learning a new language or technology.

I recently finished a book called Progressive Web Apps with React which took the reader through building a PWA chat application using firebase with push notifications and such.

Also, this one for Vue:

I just finished the first chapter which has you build a markdown editor with Vue.

In this book, The Road to learn React [0], you will learn the fundamentals of React while building a larger application with sorting, caching and searching an API.

If you're interested in learning Vue I can offer both my own course and book as recommendations.

The course demos three substantial Vue.js projects:

The book is about full-stack Vue & Laravel and includes one large project, an Airbnb clone:
