I am an amateur developer, mostly using python. I had from time to time to code a front-end in JS and it was a huge pain in the bottom (again, I am a real amateur). This until I discovered Vue.js which changed my life. This and lodash made me actually like JS and front-end programming. So this is an example what a framework did not help to improve code but actually made me choose in something else than the language I was using so far (coming from a background in C, then Perl)

Would you be able to recommend any Vue tutorials/resources/projects you found useful while learning?

  All you need are the (excellent) docs! You can read the whole thing in like an hour or so. Onve you've read the docs, just start building.

    Absolutely agreed. I went from zero (and very poor JS skills) to starting refactoring my app in one afternoon.

  I agree with the comment sibling recommending the docs -- they are good. maybe try building something with nuxt[1] first. nuxt a framework/static site generator build on top of vue (inspired by next.js for react). its conventions are easy to pick up. I find nuxt eliminates all the boilerplate and middleware I would normally have to write for a vue app with SSR (especially since vue-cli really only has a good client-side template). it's a joy to work with. 1. https://nuxtjs.org/ https://nuxtjs.org/

    Made my personal website with nuxt. The tools are excellent -- it was so easy to integrate PostCSS, Pug, and TypeScript into the site.

    This looks absolutely fantastic. Thanks. I will have a closer look as soon as my family goes for vacation :)

  The docs on the site are very good. I would recommend taking an existing project of yours and rewrite it. This is what I did with my home dashboard. I wrote a few frontends in my job (nothing off the shelf was suitable and I had simple needs). I then rewrote everything in Vue. This is also the snell of having a hammer and everything looking like a nail but I have basic needs and do not have the time to learn 20 languages. Python and JS are a good combo for me.

Vue is great. Currently using it in a ColdFusion project to retrofit a modern frontend to oldish code. Works like a charm, without a full rewrite.

I had a similar experience using React Redux. The model just 'clicked' in my head, and suddenly I could make UIs.
