When I first started using Vue, I fell in love because of how easy it made it to do what quickly turned into a mess with jQuery, like dynamically adding fields to a form or showing a loading state while firing off an AJAX request.

Three years later I’ve realized that Vue solves a lot of hard problems that I never expected it to solve, like:

  • Keeping logic portable and encapsulated, even when it interacts with disconnected parts of the DOM
  • Completely customizing how a component looks without a bunch of CSS overrides or complex configuration options
  • Making it easy to simulate desperately needed browser features like element queries, without waiting another 5 years for support

Advanced Vue Component Design takes everything I know about using Vue to build more than basic UI widgets and bundles it up into one comprehensive course that you can work through in an afternoon. 

The full course clocks in at 34 lessons totaling 4 hours of content.

It covers topics like:

  • Building custom controlled components
  • Strategies for keeping logic encapsulated and making components more portable
  • Using composition to extend components instead of mixins or inheritance
  • How and why to use render functions, even if you aren’t using JSX
  • Using data provider components to reuse non-UI logic
  • Creating renderless components that are completely customizable
  • Designing compound components using Vue’s provide and inject features
  • Real-world case studies on building robust sortable list and search select components

Adam Wathan is the creator of Tailwind CSS — the utility-first CSS framework that has reshaped how front-end engineers write styles since its 2017 release. He is also a co-founder of Tailwind Labs (the company behind Tailwind CSS, Tailwind UI, Headless UI, and Heroicons), the host of the Full Stack Radio podcast, and the author of Refactoring UI (with Steve Schoger).

His paid course catalog covers Tailwind CSS in depth (the framework's design philosophy, advanced patterns, plugin authoring), the broader modern CSS landscape, refactoring patterns for UI work, advanced Vue.js (he was a long-running Vue advocate before Tailwind became the primary work), Test-Driven Laravel, and the design-engineering boundary material that bridges UI design and front-end implementation.

The CourseFlix listing under this source carries 5 Adam Wathan courses spanning that range. Material is paid; Adam's courses are sold individually on adamwathan.me on the original platform. Courses are aimed at developers and designers serious about the craft of building interfaces.
