SUMMARY:State of Vue.js in 2025 with Aleksandr Podyachev
DESCRIPTION:“Vue.js is a new JavaScript framework that is a rising star among JavaScript frameworks. Vue.js was invented by Evan You as a simple JavaScript framework because he wanted a more lightweight version of AngularJS. The idea behind it is that it is a middle ground between React and Angular\, with Angular being heavier and React being lighter. The purpose is that you have the option to use more advanced features if you want to\, but you don’t need to have them. The other notable thing is that it is maintained by Evan You and the Vue community\, as opposed to React being maintained by Facebook and Angular being maintained by Google.” \nAll skill levels are welcome! If you’ve ever been interested in web development\, come on by. \nAs always\, HUGE thanks to Assembly for hosting.
Learn more about the amenities and community of Assembly at https://www.assemblynfk.com/ \nStreet parking is free after 6 pm. From 6:30-7:00 pm\, we will have someone at the door to let you in. After 7\, message the #javascript channel on 757Dev Slack. We meet in the Fur Room on the 4th floor.
