Part 3. Modeling data, consuming APIs, and testing

As your Vue.js applications grow larger and more complicated, you’ll need to start thinking about a way to store data more efficiently in them. Luckily for us, Vuex offers an amazing solution that makes this process easy. We’ll learn that in greater detail in chapter 10.

In chapter 11, dovetailing nicely from chapter 10, we’ll look at communicating with a server. We’ll discuss talking to a backend system and processing data. We’ll then learn about server-side rendering, a new technology that will increase the speed of your application.

In chapter 12, we’ll learn how to test. As a professional web developer, you’ll need to know how to test your application. Testing helps eliminates bugs, and your applications will be more stable. We’ll also take a peek at development operations, also known as DevOps. We’ll learn how it can benefit our development lifecycle when deploying our application and making sure everything is working properly.
