Michele Cynowicz - Shifting to Vue
DevFest Florida is the most magical developer conference.
In the world of software engineering, there are those of us who work daily on iterating-over, and improving, a single legacy application.
You might be interested in moving your UI toward a modern reactive framework; but how do you leverage this on an older system without dumping your original product entirely and starting over from scratch?
I've recently done this very thing - adding a VueJS front-end as the new face of an old Rails App, shifting the UI in piecemeal while supporting both old and new architecture with VueJS components.
In this presentation I'll walk you through the process as a case-study and you'll discover:
How VueJS is reactive but also applicable as standalone components to an old (Rails) application.
How to break-down your old UI into pieces that will become your new, reactive components.
How to build these components up simultaneously in two ways - legacy style and beta style.
How to apply standalone components to your legacy app and launch them in a way that transitions users gradually to a new SPA experience. Find the latest information about speakers, agenda, and other exciting news at devfestflorida.org
