I am a backend developer but I get full stack jobs here and there. I used JQurey for frontend development and I was satisfied with that. But for a new job, I had to work with Vue developer. So I searched about Vue and what is its difference with JQuery and I realized it is so much more convenient. Because I can create a REST API for both web frontend and mobile app and I don’t have to write some code to handle MPA part of django.

One of the problems that I had when searching about integrating Django and Vue together is that there is not much Django-Vue course out there on the internet. One of the courses that I came across is Stan Triepels course which is explaining every necessary topic in order to build a production ready web app. you can check it out here.

Pros

One of the things I like about this course is that the writer is explaining why he chose certain tools or methods. For example, in the first section, he is explaining about what is a single page application and when we should use it and when we shouldnt.

Another awesome thing about this course is that it explains every part of developing an application with Vue and Django. from coding to testing and deploying. one of the things that made me confused in the beginning when I wasn’t familiar with Vue was how should I deploy it? Obviously there are multiple methods but one of the more convenient ones (which is explained in this course) is to deploy backend and frontend separately. This tutorial used AWS Buckets for this purpose.

Suggestion

One thing that I think could make this tutorial even better is that if writer record video of him coding based on this tutorial it would be really awesome.

Conclusion

If you are new or even had experience with Django or Vue and wanting to get a better understanding of both frameworks and learn more about best practices I highly recommend to purchase this course.

Disclaimer

I get this course for free but this review is my honest thoughts and by no means influenced by the writer of this course.
