Learning Axios, Building City Tours, and Exploring Asynchronous Programming

  • William introduces Axios, a library they have been learning at their code boot camp.

  • They explain that Axios is used for web service calls in JavaScript and makes working with APIs easier.

  • William discusses the difference between synchronous and asynchronous programming.

  • They use the analogy of waiting in line at a grocery store to explain asynchronous programming.

  • Asynchronous programming allows for multiple updates at once, making the app feel smoother and faster.

  • William emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts for app performance.

  • They mention their final capstone project, city tours, and the learning opportunities it provides with APIs and routing.

  • William discusses their decision to use Tailwind instead of Bootstrap for their project.

  • They explain that they initially planned to use Bootstrap but switched to Tailwind due to compatibility issues with Vue three.

  • William expresses satisfaction with the clean and good-looking design achieved with Tailwind.

  • They mention their progress on the login page and plans to work on the navigation bar.

  • William expresses confidence in their front-end skills and their intention to focus on areas they are less familiar with, such as controllers.

  • They express excitement about showcasing their layout progress and admit to not knowing what week it is.

  • William mentions being on a job hunt and the real-world experience provided by the capstone project.

  • They express enthusiasm about working on a project with a product manager and a dev lead.

  • William invites the audience to check out Axios, their final capstone project, city tours, and promises to provide updates later.
