Part book, part video course, The Imposter's Frontend Accelerator pairs written explanation with hands-on coding to teach Vue 3 and Nuxt 3 through one real project built from the ground up.

What you'll learn

  • Core features of Vue 3.0 and Nuxt 3.0
  • Building dynamic, responsive interfaces
  • Techniques for keeping performance solid as the project grows

How it's structured

32 lessons move from an introduction to Vue and Nuxt, into hands-on coding workshops, and finally into building your own project from scratch — a format aimed at beginners as much as developers looking to round out an existing frontend skill set.

Big Machine is the personal teaching platform of Rob Conery, a US developer best known for co-founding Tekpub (an early online dev-video platform later acquired by Pluralsight), authoring The Imposter's Handbook, and a long string of pragmatic developer books on PostgreSQL, Ruby on Rails, and the broader full-stack ecosystem.

His CourseFlix listing carries five Big Machine courses: The Imposter's Roadmap, The Imposter's Frontend Accelerator, PostgreSQL Fundamentals, Revisiting Rails, and AI for Developers With Deadlines. Material is paid and aimed at working developers — particularly those who came into software from non-traditional backgrounds and want to fill the foundational gaps without starting from scratch.

Frequently asked questions

What prerequisites should I have before enrolling in this course?

What kind of project will I build during the course?
Participants will engage in a step-by-step process to build a real functioning project, incorporating dynamic and responsive user interfaces using Vue 3.0 and Nuxt 3.0. The project will cover creating a simple CMS with Nuxt Content, handling application state with Pinia, and implementing authentication and authorization features with Supabase.
Who is the target audience for this course?
