I gave a quick glance through this and it seems pretty good especially for beginners. I noticed at the beginning it goes straight into installing the vue cli with yarn or npm. Might be helpful for beginners to know what npm/yarn (and for that matter node) is and at the very least how to install it.

I understand that this is supposed to go with a complimentary course which might explain these things, but might be good for reference.

That being said this seems like a great resource that I would recommend to any new people that are starting with web front end, great work!

There's beginners and there's beginners though. Why not include a CLI basics tutorial too? An addendum covering just what the CLI is composing for you so you know how to use separate components would be a better use of time.

If you use some of the simple scaffolds it's fair obvious but the default and complex ones you're at the mersey of their github README, which as a newbie can be very thick.

Tutorials should set you up to get the most done in the least amount of effort with the fewest tripwires setup.

Thank you for the feedback!

I considered beginners to the framework, rather than to frontend development altogether - I think an npm/yarn intro would have helped, it's difficult to know where to stop and avoid going into a rabbit hole to explain all the things you're "supposed" to know when entering the JS frontend dev realm.

Good points!

Why is npm required?

The first part of book is like setup and tools. The first example hello world doesn’t use npm at all. Just a HTML file.
