Recently I didn't have much time to read books due to various personal reasons and that's why I was so excited to read this book when I finally got time to do that.
To be honest that's not the first Vue.js book I've read. A year and something ago I've read a good enough book Vue.js 2 and Bootstrap 4 Web Development. Back then I was playing with Vue in my spare time and didn't get an opportunity to use it anywhere besides my small pet projects. The book was okayish though it didn't cover the fundamental technical areas of Vue I was mostly interested in. But it was good enough for a starter. This particular book from Manning is a completely different story.
This book follows the software book standard of writing that never gets old. It starts from the high level architecture overview and then digs to the very bottom of its implementation. This process is accompanied with practical exercises where you get to write code yourself and all of this is followed by inspiring home assignments.
I had to rush with reading this book as I needed to write a Vue project for my work in just a week. But this book allowed me to reduce practically all the technical debt I've acquired during this process.
The examples given in this book were relevant to what I did at work so I was able to use what I just learned in practice.
My impression on Vue is that it's one of the most beginner's friendly frontend frameworks I've worked with. And this book adds even more to that. It explains most Vue concepts in great detail and almost always you get a practical example of it plus a best practice pattern that you can follow.
My score for this book is 5/5

I'd like to recommend this book to devs with junior/middle level.
If you have some experience (basic) with JS this is a perfect starting point to learn Vue from scratch.
This book will give everything that's needed for deep diving into building Vue apps.
For a more experienced developer (especially, with knowledge of other frameworks like react) this book can be used as a quick reference for general concepts like store, routing, ssr, and other stuff.

This is a robust and easy to follow along guide for learning the Vue.js framework. I was thrown into using Vue.js in a project, but I love it a little more every day. It's well supported, has a minimal bug record on Git, and allows developers to work on HTML, CSS, and JS all on one page, which speeds up development. The only gripe I have about Vue.js in Action is that I would have liked to see a way more advanced project with all the chapters contributing towards it. Half-way through the book, the author leaves the project on the wayside and comes back to it in the last 2-3 chapters. Overall though, it's a solid book that will take you some time to finish if you are new to Vue and following along. The best attribute of the book = connecting your data to Firebase. This was a win for me.

I do not like the way the author provided the code examples, especially the later chapters were to not the easiest to follow. In general it did not give much added value compared with the official documentation.

Appreciate how it shows you more than what's available on the documentation.

Увы не дочитал, всё-таки не книжный формат

Good for beginners. Advanced programmers can get the same from official documentation.
