Angular vs React – Difference Between Angular and React

If you are a web developer and stumbling around which platform should you choose for your next project, Angular or React? Then, you are at the correct place. Also, if you are a beginner in web development, you will surely come across with Angular and React soon.

In this article, we are going to discuss what Angular and React is? What are their key differences, similarities, and various other factors to get a better understanding.

So, let’s get started.

What is Angular and React?

Angular is a complete structural framework for development of dynamic web pages and web applications. It is a JavaScript framework developed and maintained by Google that is written in Typescript. Angular is a complete rewrite of Angular JS which was introduced in 2010. Also, Angular has a different syntax format and instead of controllers it uses a hierarchy of components for its architecture.

React popularly known as React.js or React JS is an open source JavaScript library developed and maintained by Facebook. It is basically used for developing single page or application as it can fetch rapidly changing data and record them. It was introduced in 2013 and was described as a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

Both Angular and React frameworks are developed and available under MIT license.

Angular vs React

Architecture

Angular and React both have many similarities and differences. If we compare Angular with React, then we see that Angular is completely a MVC (Model View Controller) framework as it helps in building the structure of application but React is just a JavaScript library – only the view.

On the other hand, React gives you complete flexibility for choosing any of your own library as you wish to. In addition, it also provides JSX and XML templates instead of just classic templates as in Angular.

Angular does not gives you much flexibility as React. You have to only use what angular provides.

Data Binding

This is one the major differences between Angular and React. Angular uses two-way data binding while React uses one-way data binding.

Let me explain you by a simple example – In two-way data binding, if a user input changes than the state of the model changes as well. And if you change the state of model then the corresponding input changes. This is how two-way data binding works.

React uses one-way binding. In this first we have to update the model state and then only we can change the user input. However, if we change the user element it will not affect the model state.

Parent Technology

Angular uses Typescript language while React uses JavaScript language. Both languages are different in a way that JavaScript is a dynamic language rather than Typescript which is static language.

In JavaScript we don’t have to define the variable type like string, char, int etc. It dynamically allocates memory to the variable. While in Typescript, we have to statically define the variable type.

The Angular uses Typescript as it provides smooth transition for programmers.

DOM (Document Object Model)

Angular uses regular DOM in comparison to React which uses Virtual DOM. Virtual DOM helps in increasing the speed of changing and updating the data without changing the structure.

While on the other hand in regular DOM, the whole structure needs to be updated until we reach the data that needs to be updated. This leads to slow performance of Angular than React.

Difference Between Angular and React

Basis	Angular	React
Developed By	Google	Facebook
Platform	Complete MVC framework for building web pages and applications	JavaScript Library for developing single page
Templates	HTML templates	JSX, XML templates
Data Binding	Uses two-way data binding	Uses one-way data binding
DOM	Regular DOM	Virtual DOM
Language Used	Typescript	JavaScript and JSX
Flexibility	Only Angular tools can be used	Provides option to choose any templates
State Management	No need of Redux until the requirement is high enough	Redux is used for state management

Google Trends

According to google search trends React is more popular than Angular. The does not mean Angular is not good, both have there own advantages and disadvantages.

Final Thoughts

Both Angular and React are widely used by professional developers, businesses, and various other companies worldwide. Angular is a complete framework and has always gained popularity since its release. And same applies on React too, but its not a framework rather it’s just a library to view.

React and Angular are two different things, but still they both are compared because they are the most widely used technology for developing web pages and applications. React has some amazing features, that’s the reason it is compared to Angular.

The 9 Best Mind Mapping Tools for Designers

A mind map is a diagram drawn to help brainstorm ideas without being forced to organize or structure them. Instead, ideas are visually depicted in a hierarchical structure showing the flow and relationship between various ideas as they arise, which allows us to analyze them and recall them with ease.

Let’s take a look at the types of mind maps that are used in UX, and the mind mapping tools that are used to create them.

The Benefits of Mind Mapping

So, why mind map?

Ideation is exciting. Ideas here, ideas there. However, the enthusiasm to conceptualize them can be so invigorating that we don’t take the time to develop upon them or consider other ideas.

Rushing into a concept can take us down a road that’s seemingly harmless but actually quite dangerous. It might get us to finish line, which feels great, but with an end-result that’s mashup of random thoughts and ideas that don’t work together.

By mapping out ideas, we can better understand their:

1. value (what’s to be gained by exploring this idea?)
2. role (how does the idea fit into the bigger picture?)
3. relationships (how does the idea relate to other ideas?)

Eventually we can start to organize these ideas by similarity using a methodology called affinity mapping, which in turn helps us design user-centric mockups and wireframes as opposed to being driven by personal opinion.

How Mind Maps Are Used in UX

Mind maps can evolve into other types of maps with more specific uses. For example, maps that explore the navigational hierarchy and user flows of software systems such as websites, apps, and so on, are referred to as sitemaps. Maps that explore the numerous ways in which customers might interact with a product are called customer journey maps.

Both of these are useful when planning UX design projects — sitemaps for planning wireframes, and customer journey maps for optimizing the online and offline customer experience.

Coggle

• Pricing: $0, $5, or $8 (/month)
• Platform: web
• Pros: simple features, real-time collaboration
• Cons: looks a tad outdated, only accomplishes mind mapping

While many old-school mind mapping tools have become tragically outdated over the years, Coggle is one that’s managed to survive by keeping its focus solely on mind mapping and sporting a fairly simple user interface.

It still looks somewhat dated, but nonetheless is much better looking than veteran tools like FreeMind (which hasn’t been updated in at least four years) and Mind Manager (which looks like it came bundled with Windows 95).

Check out the Coggle Mind Map Gallery, especially the mind map that describes the various types of emotion.

Notice how each emotion is divided by color, then further divided into more specific emotions depicted with capital letters, and then divided once more in a smaller font. It’s totally up to you how visually organize your thoughts and relationships. Coggle lets us explore ideas using images, branches, loops, shapes, and whatever else we need to explore our story.

Stakeholders can weigh in by commenting on mind maps, but also collaborate in real time as if using a whiteboard.

Apart from real-time collaboration, these features are standard and are included in every other tool in this list.

TL;DR: Coggle is everything you need, and nothing you don’t.

XMind

• Pricing: $1.24, $4.58, or $4.99 (/month)
• Platform: web, iOS, Android, macOS, Linux, Windows
• Pros: beautiful maps, very modern, excellent UX
• Cons: only mind mapping, no real-time collaboration

Other than Coggle, XMind is the only mind mapping tool to withstand the test of time, these days taking inspiration from critically acclaimed screen design tools like Sketch to offer a mighty mind mapping experience, but still with a minimalist and intuitive user interface. XMind mind maps look stunning, and while there’s no real-time collaboration, the maps can be shared with stakeholders and exported in a variety of formats.

If you’re looking for a modern-looking mind mapping tool without the bells and whistles, XMind is more than suitable.

Tip: try “Zen Mode” to remove all UI distractions!

How to Get Started with Vuetify

In this article, you will learn how you can quickly build an attractive and interactive frontend very quickly using Vuetify. Building a friendly application interface with a great user experience is a skill that requires practice and knowledge. While Vuetify won't make you a skilled UX practitioner over night, it will help provide a solid start to those who are new in this area.

As a Vue.js developer, there are many fully-featured CSS frameworks specifically developed for Vue that you can take advantage of. One great example is Bootstrap-Vue. I have used it and and it does really make building components easier than just using traditional CSS frameworks. However, you may want to give your apps a Material Design look and feel to make it familiar to new users.

According to the makers of Material Design:

"Material Design isn't a single style. It's an adaptable design system inspired by paper and ink. And engineered so you can build beautiful, usable products faster."

I hope I now have your attention with that powerful statement. Currently, Vuetify is the most complete user interface component library for Vue applications that follows the Google Material Design specs. Let's quickly dive in and look at how you can get started.

Prerequisites

This guide is written for developers who have intermediate or advanced knowledge of Vue.js. If you have never used Vue.js to build applications, please check out these articles:

• Jump Start Vue, our complete introduction to Vue.js
• Getting Started with Vue.js — a quick primer
• Getting up and Running with the Vue.js 2.0 Framework
• More Vue.js Articles

What is Vuetify?

Vuetify is an open source MIT project for building user interfaces for web and mobile applications. It is a project that is backed by sponsors and volunteers from the Vue community. The project is supported by a vibrant Discord community forum where you can ask JavaScript questions — even if they're not about Vuetify. The development team is committed to fixing bugs and providing enhancements through consistent update cycles. There are also weekly patches to fix issues that the community raises.

Most open-source frontend libraries don't get this level of attention. So you can be confident that when you start using Vuetify in your projects, you won't be left hanging without support in the future. Vuetify supports all major browsers out of the box. Older browsers such as IE11 and Safari 9 can work too but will require babel-polyfill. Anything older than that is not supported. Vuetify is built to be semantic. This means that every component and prop name you learn will be easy to remember and re-use without frequently checking the documentation.

Vuetify also comes with free/premium themes and pre-made layouts you can use to quickly theme your application. At the time of writing, Vuetify v1.5.13 is the current version, which utilizes Material Design Spec v1. Version 2.x of Vuetify will utilize Material Design Spec v2 which will soon be made available. Let's go over to the next section to see a couple of ways we can install Vuetify into our projects.

Installing Vuetify

If you already have an existing Vue project that was created with an older version of Vue CLI tool or some other way, you can simply install Vuetify as follows:

PaaS: Managing Your Cloud Infrastructure via RESTful API in Node.js

Once upon a time when someone needs to publish their own website on the internet, they had to go buy expensive server hoping that performance will be enough for growing user base or buy even more expensive server that they were not going to use at its full capacity. But this is only a 20% of the work, then they had to contact an ISP and buy a public IP for the server and pay the monthly internet bill and power bill and then make sure the server is running 24×7.

But today we have a hosting service to make sure every single thing is handled for us for a reasonable price. Whether you are a blogger, entrepreneur, reseller or a developer you just have to sit back and relax. Whether you are growing 1 million users per day or having a rough patch, you only need to pay for what you have used.

For example, imagine that you have built a rocket to go to mars and you are building a mobile app to sell tickets. You published your app today and when you wake up tomorrow there are millions of people who want to buy a ticket, but your app is broken since your VPS cannot handle the load or you are a VPS reseller who has a website and manually ordering servers from other platforms.

But what if, you can automate this without ever being wanted to log in to your dashboard again. In this article, we are going to see how to develop it using NodeJS. For this article, I will use the Veesp’s API to do that.

Further details about this API can be found in the official documentation at following link https://secure.veesp.com/userapi

So let’s get started!

Install the npm Request Module

In order to perform any kind of HTTP requests, you need an HTTP client library. You are free to use your own NodeJS HTTP client. For this article, we are going to use npm request module.

So first let’s get started by installing the request module using npm,

npm i --save request

Then create a file called app.js and import the request module.

const request = require('request');

Ordering a VPS

Veesp provide a variety of service categories including VPS hosting, domain names, DNS hosting and few other services. Also, VPS hosting is divided into a few types, Linux SSD VPS, Linux HDD VPS, Windows VPS and dedicated servers.

Veesp API uses HTTP basic user authentication for authenticating users. You should send your username and password with the request headers in order to use endpoints.

We will leave out this module import, and username password authentication after this example. But you should send these authentication details in each request as we mentioned before,

So here is the code to get a list of service categories from the API.

const request = require('request');

const username = 'your@gmail.com';
const password = 'yourpassword';

const url = 'https://secure.veesp.com/api/category';

const auth = new Buffer.from(username + ':' + password).toString('base64');

const req = {
    url: url,
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
        'Authorization': 'Basic ' + auth,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    }
};

request(req, (err, res) => {
    const body = JSON.parse(res.body);
    console.log(body);
});

When you want to execute the code you can open your terminal and run node app.js. Your console output should look something like this,

{ categories:
   [ { id: '18', name: 'Linux SSD VPS', description: '', slug: 'vps' },
     { id: '19',
       name: 'Linux HDD VPS',
       description: '',There is also requests and reonses
       slug: 'hdd-vps' },
     { id: '17',
       name: 'Windows VPS',
       description: '',
       slug: 'windows-vps' },
     …

So we have a list of categories and relevant ID for each category. For this example, we are going to order a new Linux SSD VPS where the ID is 18 as we can see in the response.

Then we can use this category ID to get a list of products under this category as below.

const url = 'https://secure.veesp.com/api/category/18/product';

const req = {
    url: url,
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
        'Authorization': 'Basic ' + auth,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    }
};

request(req, (err, res) => {
    const body = JSON.parse(res.body);
    console.log(body);
});

After executing this code, your console output should look something like this,

{ products:
   [ { id: '212',
       type: '11',
       name: 'SSD Sandbox',
       stock: false,
       paytype: 'Regular',
       description:
        'CPU:1 vCore<br>RAM:512MB<br>SSD:10GB<br>Traffic:100GB<br>Bandwidth:200Mbps<br><ul></ul>',
       qty: -603,
       tags: [],
       periods: [Array] },
     { id: '236',
       type: '11',
       name: 'SSD 1',
       stock: false,
       paytype: 'Regular',
       description:
        'CPU:1 vCore<br>RAM:1GB<br>SSD:25GB<br>Traffic:Unlimited<br>Bandwidth:200Mbps<br><ul></ul>',       qty: -436,
       tags: [],
       periods: [Array] },
…

Now we can order the product. Pass your hostname as a parameter ‘domain’ in the request body. You can select the ID of the product you want to order, for this example we are going to order 512 Mb Ram, 10 Gb SSD with 100 Gb traffic and 200 Mbps network interface. ID relevant to that product is 212 as you can see in the response.

const url = 'https://secure.veesp.com/api/order/212';

const options = {
    method: 'POST',
    url: url,
    headers: {
        'Authorization': 'Basic ' + auth,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
        domain: 'myhostname'
    })
};

request(options, function (err, res, body) {
    console.log(body);
});

If you do not get any error from the server, you VPS should now be up and running.

Listing the Current Services

You may want to get a list of current VPS to analyze your current usage, and also to control stop or start a VPS when needed.

Let’s take a list of services by calling the /service API as below

const url = 'https://secure.veesp.com/api/service';

const req = {
   url: url,
   method: 'GET',
   headers: {
       'Authorization': 'Basic ' + auth,
       'Content-Type': 'application/json'
   }
};

request(req, (err, res) => {
   const body = JSON.parse(res.body);
   console.log(body);
});

Execute this code and you should get a response like this,

{ services:
   [ { id: '29618',
       domain: 'xd002',
       total: '4.000',
       status: 'Active',
       billingcycle: 'Monthly',
       next_due: '2019-07-22',
       category: 'Linux SSD VPS',
       category_url: 'vps',
       name: 'SSD Sandbox' },
     { id: '29611',
       domain: 'xdhost',
       total: '4.000',
       status: 'Active',
       billingcycle: 'Monthly',
       next_due: '2019-07-21',
       category: 'Linux SSD VPS',
       category_url: 'vps',
       name: 'SSD Sandbox' } ] }

Because we have created a Linux SSD VPS above we will get that and a list of all other services we are using. If you only need VPS servers or a certain category only, you can filter by the category_url or category as you wish.

For example, if you only want to select only Linux SSD VPS category

request(req, (err, res) => {
   const body = JSON.parse(res.body);
   const services = body.services;

   const linuxSSDVpsList = services.filter((item) => {
       if (item.category === 'Linux SSD VPS') {
           return true;
       }
   });

   console.log(linuxSSDVpsList);
});

Stop and Start a VPS

Now we have a list of services and their IDs. Finally, now we can get a list of VMs related to the service as below. You should pass your service ID with the following URL. Please, note that the service ID of the above request 29618 is used to get the VM list.

const url = 'https://secure.veesp.com/api/service/29618/vms';

const req = {
   url: url,
   method: 'GET',
   headers: {
       'Authorization': 'Basic ' + auth,
       'Content-Type': 'application/json'
   }
};

request(req, (err, res) => {
   const body = JSON.parse(res.body);
   console.log(body);
});

You should get a response like this from the server with VM IDs and info including the password,

{

  "vms": {

    "17228": {

      "password": "afakepassword",

      "template": "linux-centos-6-i386-min-gen2-v1",

      "template_label": "CentOS 6 32 bit\t",

      "disk": 10,

      "memory": 512,

      "burstmem": -512,

      "bandwidth": 100,

      "pae": 0,

      "pxe": 0,

      "id": "17228",

      "state": "online",

      "ipv6subnets": [

        "2a00:1345:37:13a::/64"

      ],

      "usage": {

        "disk": {

          "total": 10,

          "used": 0,

          "free": 10,

          "percent": "0"

        },

        "memory": {

          "total": 0,

          "used": 0,

          "free": 0,

          "percent": "0"

        },

        "bandwidth": {

          "total": 100,

          "used": 0,

          "free": 100,

          "percent": "0"

        }

      },

      "label": "xd002",

      "ip": [

        "34.34.56.56",

        " 2a00:1345:37:13a::a246"

      ],

      "cpus": "1"

    }

  }

}

As you can see you have the assigned public IP and the password to authenticate the VPS in the response. Now you can automate deploying your application and scaling logic at this stage or give back these credentials to your customers if you are a reseller.

Now you can perform stop and start operation on your VPS as below,

To stop the server,

const url = 'https://secure.veesp.com/api/service/29618/vms/17228/stop';

const options = {
   method: 'POST',
   url: url,
   headers: {
       'Authorization': 'Basic ' + auth,
       'Content-Type': 'application/json'
   }
};

request(options, function (err, res, body) {
   console.log(body);
});

To start the server,

const url = 'https://secure.veesp.com/api/service/29618/vms/17228/start';

const options = {
   method: 'POST',
   url: url,
   headers: {
       'Authorization': 'Basic ' + auth,
       'Content-Type': 'application/json'
   }
};

request(options, function (err, res, body) {
   console.log(body);
});

Other than that you can rebuild your VPS, restart your VPS, change the boot order of your VPS using this API.

So this is the basics of how you can use automation and application scaling using HTTP API. Hope you will find this useful to automate and scale up your business as your customer base grows, without even needing to login to the dashboard ever again.

Happy scaling!

A Beginner’s Guide to Vue CLI

When building a new Vue app, the best way to get up and running quickly is to use Vue CLI. This is a command-line utility that allows you to choose from a range of build tools, which it will then install and configure for you. It will also scaffold out your project, providing you with a pre-configured starting point that you can build on, rather than starting everything from scratch.

The most recent version of Vue CLI is version 3. It provides a new experience for Vue developers and helps them start developing Vue apps without dealing with the complex configuration of tools like webpack. At the same time, it can be configured and extended with plugins for advanced use cases.

Vue CLI v3 is a complete system for rapid Vue.js development and prototyping. It’s composed of different components, such as the CLI service, CLI plugins and recently a web UI that allows developers to perform tasks via an easy-to-use interface.

Throughout this article, I’ll introduce the latest version of Vue CLI and its new features. I’ll demonstrate how to install the latest version of Vue CLI and how to create, serve and build an example project.

Vue CLI v3 Installation and Requirements

In this section, we’ll look at the requirements needed for Vue CLI v3 and how to install it.

Requirements

Let’s start with the requirements. Vue CLI v3 requires Node.js 8.9+, but v8.11.0+ is recommended.

You can install the latest version of Node.js in various ways:

• By downloading the binaries for your system from the official website.
• By using the official package manager for your system.
• Using a version manager. This is probably the easiest way, as it allows you to manage multiple versions of Node on the same machine. If you’d like to find out more about this approach, please see our quick tip Installing Multiple Versions of Node.js Using nvm.

Vue creator, Evan You, described version 3 of the CLI as a “completely different beast” from its predecessor. As such, it’s important to uninstall any previous version of the CLI (that is, 2.x.x) before preceding with this tutorial.

If the vue-cli package is installed globally on your system, you can remove it by running the following command:

npm uninstall vue-cli -g

Installing Vue CLI v3

You can now install Vue CLI v3 by simply running the following command from your terminal:

npm install -g @vue/cli

Note: if you find yourself needing to add sudo before your command in macOS or Debian-based systems, or to use an administrator CMD prompt in Windows in order to install packages globally, then you should fix your permissions. The npm site has a guide on how to do this, or just use a version manager and you avoid the problem completely.

After successfully installing the CLI, you’ll be able to access the vue executable in your terminal.

For example, you can list all the available commands by executing the vue command:

vue

You can check the version you have installed by running:

vue --version
$ 3.2.1

Creating a Vue Project

After installing Vue CLI, let’s now look at how we can use it to quickly scaffold complete Vue projects with a modern front-end toolset.

Using Vue CLI, you can create or generate a new Vue app by running the following command in your terminal:

vue create example-vue-project

Tip: example-vue-project is the name of the project. You can obviously choose any valid name for your project.

The CLI will prompt you for the preset you want to use for your project. One option is to select the default preset which installs two plugins: Babel for transpiling modern JavaScript, and ESLint for ensuring code quality. Or you can manually select the features needed for your project from a set of official plugins. These include:

• Babel
• TypeScript
• Progressive Web App support
• Vue Router
• Vuex (Vue’s official state management library)
• CSS Pre-processors (PostCSS, CSS modules, Sass, Less & Stylus)
• Linter/ Formatter using ESLint and Prettier
• Unit Testing using Mocha or Jest
• E2E Testing using Cypress or Nightwatch

Whatever you choose, the CLI will download the appropriate libraries and configure the project to use them. And if you choose to manually select features, at the end of the prompts you’ll also have the option to save your selections as a preset so that you can reuse it in future projects.

Now let’s look at the other scripts for serving the project (using a webpack development server and hot module reloading) and building the project for production.

Navigate inside your project’s folder:

cd example-vue-project

Next, run the following command to serve your project locally:

npm run serve

The command will allow you to run a local development server from the http://localhost:8080 address. If you use your web browser to navigate to this address, you should see the following page:

The development server supports features like hot code reloading, which means you don’t need to stop and start your server every time you make any changes to your project’s source code. It will even preserve the state of your app!

And when you’ve finished developing your project, you can use the following command to build a production bundle:

npm run build

This will output everything to a dist folder within your project. You can read more about deployment here.

What is the Vue CLI Service?

The Vue CLI Service is a run-time dependency (@vue/cli-service) that abstracts webpack and provides default configurations. It can be upgraded, configured and extended with plugins.

It provides multiple scripts for working with Vue projects, such as the serve, build and inspect scripts.

We’ve seen the serve and build scripts in action already. The inspect script allows you to inspect the webpack config in a project with vue-cli-service. Try it out:

vue inspect

As you can see, that produces a lot of output. Later on we’ll see how to tweak the webpack config in a Vue CLI project.

The Project Anatomy

A Vue project generated with the CLI has a predefined structure that adheres to best practices. If you choose to install any extra plugins (such as the Vue router), the CLI will also create the files necessary to use and configure these libraries.

Let’s take a look at the important files and folders in a Vue project when using the default preset.

• public. This folder contains public files like index.html and favicon.ico. Any static assets placed here will simply be copied and not go through webpack.
• src. This folder contains the source files for your project. Most work will be done here.
• src/assets. This folder contains the project’s assets such as logo.png.
• src/components. This folder contains the Vue components.
• src/App.vue. This is the main Vue component of the project.
• src/main.js. This is the main project file which bootstraps the Vue application.
• babel.config.js. This is a configuration file for Babel.
• package.json. This file contains a list of the project’s dependencies, as well as the configuration options for ESLint, PostCSS and supported browsers.
• node_modules. This folder contains the installed npm packages.

This is a screenshot of the project’s anatomy:

Vue CLI Plugins

Vue CLI v3 is designed with a plugin architecture in mind. In this section, we’ll look at what plugins are and how to install them in your projects. We’ll also look at some popular plugins that can help add advanced features by automatically installing the required libraries and making various settings—all of which would otherwise have to be done manually.

What a Vue Plugin Is

CLI Plugins are just npm packages that provide additional features to your Vue project. The vue-cli-service binary automatically resolves and loads all plugins listed in the package.json file.

The base configuration for a Vue CLI 3 project is webpack and Babel. All the other features can be added via plugins.

There are official plugins provided by the Vue team and community plugins developed by the community. Official plugin names start with @vue/cli-plugin-, and community plugin names start with vue-cli-plugin-.

Official Vue CLI 3 plugins include:

• Typescript
• PWA
• Vuex
• Vue Router
• ESLint
• Unit testing etc.

How to Add a Vue Plugin

Plugins are either automatically installed when creating the project or explicitly installed later by the developer.

You can install many built-in plugins in a project when initializing your project, and install any other additional plugins in the project using the vue add my-plugin command at any point of your project.

You can also install plugins with presets, and group your favorite plugins as reusable presets that you can use later as the base for other projects.

Some Useful Vue Plugins

There are many Vue CLI plugins that you might find useful for your next projects. For example, the Vuetify UI library is available as a plugin, as is Storybook. You can also use the Electron Builder plugin to quickly scaffold out a Vue project based on Electron.

I’ve also written a couple of plugins which you can make use of:

• vue-cli-plugin-nuxt: a Vue CLI plugin for quickly creating a universal Vue application with Nuxt.js
• vue-cli-plugin-bootstrap: a Vue CLI plugin for adding Bootstrap 4 to your project

If you’d like to find out more about plugins, check out this great article on Vue Mastery: 5 Vue CLI 3 plugins for your Vue project.

Things You Need to Know Before Choosing Computer Science as your Major in College

So you’ve successfully graduated from your high school and are about being admitted to a college of your dream. Now you’re rubbing your hands together in anticipation of the best time in your life. Soon you’ll dive headfirst into the fascinating realm of academia. New acquaintances, knew knowledge, new skills, and new subjects are awaiting you. Speaking about subjects… Though choosing a major often becomes a problem for graduates, it definitely wasn’t the case with you. We bet you made up your mind to become a programmer in school, and for good reason.

In the Digital Age, humanity just cannot get by with programmers and computer scientists, the people that jump in and address a variety of our needs from staying safe online to mitigating climate change consequences. Indeed, the role of computer scientists is difficult to overestimate. Once you get your degree, you’ll be able to make your own contribute to humanity’s wellbeing. Needless to say, your path towards a coveted diploma won’t be easy. Computer science is one of the most challenging fields that requiring a good deal of dedication, time, passion, and intellectual resources. Still, if you feel too overburdened with assignments, you can contact Edusson.com, an online capstone writing service that has been there for students when they need help with their homework. Thus, you’ll get a respite from overwhelming college routine and be less stressed out. But apart for this little secret, there is something else you should know before choosing computer science in college. Go on reading our article, to find out more.

A Previous Computer Science Experience is not Necessary

“How come that you don’t know anything about Computer Science? You’ll lag behind other students who have extensive experience in the similar field in college!” There are always people who try to dissuade us from choosing what we have already chosen. So if you happen to hear something resembling the above comments, just ignore them. Note that there will be countless of freshman that, just like you, won’t be able to perform like those students with the CS background. You can make up for lost opportunities once you start devoting enough time to practicing new skills and filling your knowledge gaps. If you’re enthusiastic and passionate about the subject, nothing can prevent you from mastering it.

Problem Solving Skills are an Extremely Valuable Asset

Learning programming language can be both interesting and challenging. Some students master new languages with flying colors, while other drudge through the entire learning process and cannot find the reason behind their inaptitude. The secret is that good programmer can see the problem clearly and understand it, which allows them to come with an effective enough solution. If you have an related problem solving experience, you’ll be able to apply it while learning programming languages. And one more thing… Don’t strive to master as many languages as possible. There is a common misconception that a multitude of programming languages opens up numerous career opportunities for students. But the truth is that being an efficient IT specialist is not tantamount to the quantity of languages learnt. If you are good at solving problems and you have only one programming language under your belt, you still have good chances to be hired by a top IT company. A programmer with extraordinary problem solving skills will always be in demand.

Employ Your Creativity

People often think that programming has nothing to do with creativity. But they are terribly wrong. As you might have heard, different programmers can solve one and the same task using different methods and algorithms. Those that use their creativity and, so to speak, non-standard approach to performing a task, solve problems in a more efficient way than their not so creative counterparts. Moreover, dry knowledge proves to be not enough when it comes to such tasks as developing new software, designing web pages, etc. The projects you’ll be working on in college also will be insipid and devoid of uniqueness if you don’t employ your creativity. So ascertain to make creativity a part of your professional future.

There’s Nothing Extraordinary about Writing Codes

We tend to underestimate the power of stereotypes and myths, and often end up suffering from them. The myth that coding is an exceptional skill that can be developed only by the chosen is sustained by a good many people at present. As a result, lots of students develop a complex regarding their alleged inability to write codes. As a future programmer, you should keep in mind one simple truth – programming is not meant for geniuses, it can be learned, developed, and polished just like any other skill. To backup our opinion, we want to cite one of the most outstanding programmers of our time, Bill Gates, who once said that “everyone in this world should learn how to code, because it teaches us how to think.”

In Conclusion

Computing is part of everything we do. Moreover, it has no boundaries. So don’t hesitate to pursue the degree in one of the most fascinating fields that offer great opportunities for creativity and innovativeness and enable you to make a positive difference in this world.
