Episode 99 - Vue Js Oct 15, 2018

Show notes

In this episode we talk to Brandon Lyons about Vue.js, another front end technology for Javascript.

Where will it end!? do we really need another framework?

anyway...

Brandon is a Brandon fullstack web developer, with a passion on the frontend development, specifically Vue.js. He currently working at Mcity, an automated vehicle proving grounds located at the University of Michigan. Brandon first got into web development in high school by making basic html websites, and has been working for the University of Michigan doing web development for a little over a year now.

On a daily basis Brandon uses Vue.js and python to build a suite webapps for Mcity including an Account Manager, Project Tracking SPA, and my personal favorite, a frontend interface for Mcity’s traffic control api.
