To get the most out of this book

In order for you to follow this book easily, I have to make some assumptions regarding some pre-existing knowledge on your end. Here's a checklist of the basic requirements you need in order to get the most out of this book:

• You have used HTML, CSS, and JavaScript before and are comfortable creating basic web applications.
• You are familiar with console.log statements and the general debugging of web apps in a browser such as Chrome.
• Basic knowledge of Terminal commands. You should know how to navigate folders with the cd command at the very least.
• You understand basic concepts of Vue, such as state, reactivity, interpolation, computed properties, and methods. Make sure that you take a look at the Essentials part of the official guide for reference: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/.
• You have access to a computer and an internet connection to download and install the required libraries and project files.

In the first chapter of this book, we will go over how to set up your project with an easy-to-follow step list.
