Duration

Microfrontend Development with Vue.js

3 days

Objective

This course aims to equip developers with the knowledge and skills to design, develop, and deploy scalable micro frontends using Vue.js.

By the end of the training, participants will be able to break down monolithic frontend applications into independently deployable microfrontends, understand different integration and deployment strategies, and implement advanced features such as cross-microfrontend communication, state management, and performance optimization.

Target Audience

Developers familiar with Vue.js and frontend development who want to explore microfrontend architecture.

Prerequisites

Solid understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (ES6+).
Familiarity with modern frontend development concepts (components, modular architecture, etc.).
Experience building applications with Vue.js.
Understanding of core Vue.js concepts such as components, props, state management, routing, etc.
Proficiency with Git and basic CLI commands.
