To start the year light and fun, Michael and Alex are joined by Rijk van Zanten, the creator of Directus.
Of course we talk about his journey into web development, the Vue.js ecosystem, what Directus is and why he chose Vue over other frameworks for it's extensible frontend.
Further, Rijk shares his thoughts on the Vue.js job market and how his "Quadruple Migration", over to the Composition API, Pinia, Vue 3 and Vite, went. As a cherry on top - this all started *very* early in the development cycle of Vue 3!
But the fun doesn't and there because Rijk comes with the one or the other hot take on topics like TypeScript and whether our libraries will be worse for JavaScript developers, testing, and many many other scenarios.

This DejaVue episode comes as a little special! As a belated Christmas present, we got everything, literally everything that was discussed on this podcast about one big topic: Composition API vs. Options API.
A lot of our previous guests had their own takes on the two APIs - and some might surprise you! So, why not tuning in and hear fifteen people talk about their opinions, insights and suggestions when it comes to using their preferred API in Vue - and why.
Oh, and yes - there is even a little spoiler for next weeks episode

The second half of the conversation with Sumit Kumar focuses all on the technical side of his SaaS.
At first, Michael and Alex talk about Sumit's experience with the migration from Nuxt 2 to Nuxt 3 - and we all know this isn't an easy one. Further, the Composition API vs. the Options API, as well as structuring code and writing good composables are discussed.
And of course, the question if Sumit considered rewriting the application based on another tech stack was part of it too - he had really good reasons why he didn't!
Time to tune in.

For the first time, the DejaVue Podcast goes "live"! Alex and Michael met up at VueConf Toronto and could do a whole DejaVue episode on stage. Of course, this is even more fun with guests, so they are joined by four speakers of the Conference.
But that's not the end! The audience could ask questions to the whole panel, while the DejaVue hosts curated and selected the most interesting ones.
Learn more about how all of the panelists started with Open Source, which were their biggest achievements, how Impostor Syndrome influenced them, what talks they'd be interested in as speakers and much more

Security is a topic that is often overlooked in the frontend world. But at least for you all - no longer! To make sure we cover Security for Vue and Nuxt applications as broad as possible, Michael and Alex are joined by Jakub Andrzejewski, who is not only a Senior Frontend Developer but also author of the Nuxt Security Module. We cover not only the module but also how to avoid common security mistakes as a Vue developer and how to protect your applications from vulnerabilities, and which are the most common ones.
Of course, we can't miss out on the State of Vue.js Survey, which is currently running and was co-created by Jakub as well!
Besides talking about the Security and the State of Vue.js, we also discuss how Jakub got into Vue.js at first and how he perceived the transition to Vue 3 and the Composition API.

All of you have seen users do weird things with your application and running into strange scenarios - who can't relate to this?
For this and many other reasons, the right way of error handling is important in you application. Join Michael and Alex on a discussion of the different ways one can handle errors in their application.
That includes not always showing an error page, but also handling errors request-based or component-based!

Data fetching is a crucial part of any web application. In this episode of DejaVue, we discuss the different ways to fetch data in Vue.js and Nuxt.js, and how to cache it.
We also talk about the experimental Suspense feature in Vue.js and how it can be used to improve the user experience, as well as how to handle third-party scripts in your application.
In addition, Nuxt's data fetching options are discussed, including the $fetch method, useFetch, useAsyncData and the useNuxtData composable. Finally, we cover server-side caching in Nuxt.js, including route rules, defineCachedEventHandler, and defineCachedFunction.

Alex is accompanied by the wonderful CJ Reynolds in this episode of DejaVue. The Senior Creator at Syntax.fm brings not only Vue experience but also a history of Angular JS and React, as well as various other technologies.
The two content creators talk about how CJ became a senior creator at the well-known Syntax.fm podcast and how it is different from Streaming on Twitch and his previous content creation processes. Further, CJ gives insights on how the Denver Vue meetup evolved (now the DenverScript meetup) and shares some hopes when it comes to the meetup scene.
Alex and CJ then discuss more technical topics - for example why CJ never fully switched over to Vue but still writes it a lot. The discussion eventually goes into comparisons between Vue and React, highlighting what Vue does "better" than React and how the Vue ecosystem shapes the web development work.
Enjoy the episode!
