What I learned

This is the first major Vue.js project I have finished. I learned a lot about separating code into components and how to set up interactions between them with events and props.

Continued development

I really enjoyed developing with Vue.js, but I still need to learn a lot about it, which I plan to do by building more projects with it.

Useful resources

• Vue.js Documentation - official Vue.js documentation does a great job explaining Vue.js and provides an interactive tutorial that helped me to grasp a lot of basics of Vue.js very quickly.
• LearnVue article on deploying to GitHub pages - This article cleared things up on how to prepare my project for deployment on GitHub Pages.
