Best books & resources to learn Vue.js

Javascript is the new big key player in web application development sector. Every where you see, you will find javascript frameworks. I remember the old days when you had only one widely used javascript library, The Great Jquery. After that next big super star was AngularJS framework, developed by Google. And then, flood of javascript frameworks, knockout.js, emberJS, ReactJS so on … O Boy! This is very good that there are lots of options for a developer to work with when it comes to javascript, but don’t you think that these huge number of javascript frameworks are creating confusions for many developers. Most of them are confused, what to pick, what to leave, which is better and which is worse( hah!).

Now days I am listening lot of things about Vue.JS. It’s, again, a new javascript framework. Although it’s not a new framework, it was first released in year 2013, and it seems like it is replacing Angular and React now days.

Here are some suggestions on books and resources for learning Vue.JS.
