Good for newbies, not developers.
Good book if you want to "get something on the web" for the first time and prefer overpriced books to free youtube videos. Most of its pages are filled with full-page screenshots and CSS leaving a pamphlet worth of real content.Not good for a developer looking to learn about building a scalable app with Laravel and Vue. Does not actually explain how any of Laravel's "magic" works and thus how you can leverage it to your advantage, mostly just "copy this code and see how your screen looks like mine." This book will lead you down the path of bad and/or antiquated practices and writing inflexible code.If you want to learn about building with Vue and Laravel, go through a quick Vue tutorial (it's an easy framework especially if it is not your first) and pick up the O'Reilly book "Laravel Up & Running" skipping most of the server-side rendering parts.

Great Book to Learn Vue.js if You Are Already a Laravel Developer
I am writing this review partially in response to the 1-star review. After reading his review, I was very skeptical about using this book. I am very familiar with Laravel but wanted to learn how to build Vue.js apps with the Laravel framework. Yes, there are many 15 mins tutorials out there on how to quickly slap a simple Vue.js app in Laravel, but how do you handle routing and authentication between Laravel and Vue.js, how do you pass data from Laravel to Vue.js?This book actually does a fantastic job accomplishing that without being too verbose or tedious. It starts with you building a prototype app purely in Vue.js with the simplest tools. Then it shows you step by step how it can be rebuilt into the Laravel framework. By the end of the book, the author not only covers all the core concepts and aspects of Vue.js but also shows you how to handle authentication, routing, passing data, etc from Laravel to Vue.js.I had no problem following along. He only shows you the snippets of code that need to be changed. Sometimes, it is a little harder to figure out where the code is, but it is better than him showing the entire file again and you have to decipher what part actually changed.Finally, I give this book 4-stars because the name is a little misleading. It is actually a book for Laravel developers to learn Vue.js, not for developers to learn both. Maybe a better name should be "Learning Full-Stack Vue.js 2 using Laravel 5" or "Learning Full-Stack Vue.js 2 for Laravel Developers".One piece of advice is if you are not familiar with Laravel Mix which is used to build Vue.js apps, you should check out the video series, "Learn Laravel Mix", on Laracasts. It will make things much easier to understand in this book after you go through that tutorial!

Technical Author Review
Conceptualising a Single Page Application and piecing together the various aspects without experience can be a tricky task; with the help of this publication, the reader will be building best-practise APIs in no time! As a technical reviewer of the publication, I can confidently recommend "Full-Stack Vue.js and Laravel 5" to developers who are new to the game, or are simply looking to upgrade their existing JavaScript and PHP skills with a popular, modern and elegant full-stack solution. The author guides the reader through numerous foundational topics, while cohesively contributing to the cornerstone project- Vuebnb. Through each chapter, the reader will gain working knowledge of Vue.js and PHP, as well as the concepts associated with building APIs, following best practises and finally- deploying to the cloud in a seamless manner.

If you are going to use VueJS, then this book is going to be a valuable edition.
Excellent edition to your reference library as well as for learning VueJS.What I liked most about Anthony's book is the real-world application used to build out the knowledge on. It's the difference between being given the bare minimum basics of an aspect and then grappling with implementation in a real-world scenario, and being given the theory - as well as sound implementation in a decent sized application.In so doing you get to learn and experience interaction nuances, not only for VueJS but Laravel as well, which, for me is the best learning experience. The book is also packed with extras you are going to have to master in your VueJS journey and so is one the best investments I've made in my knowledge quest.

Excellent guide to full stack apps
This book does an great job of demonstrating a full stack Vue and Laravel app. I like that the app that you build throughout the book is actually quite realistic and is pretty impressive, unlike other books that make you build some pointless todo app.In addition to Vue and Laravel, the book does cover a lot of material including Webpack, VueRouter, Vuex, Passport etc, but only really scratches the surface on these. The focus is more on how to use them together in a single app.My only frustration was having to set up Homestead when I normally use Valet, but it does cover a solid approach to full stack development.

Up and running fast with Vue and Laravel
Anthony has a great way of sharing information. I’ve been using Vue.js and Laravel for a while now. I was ready to improve my Vue.js skills. This books covers just that, single page application; vuex, vue-router, and child components. The companion project was fun to build.I recommend this book to others.

Great Vue intro for Laravel devs
There are a number of books now that tackle Vue.js, but this one is my favorite so far. It gets to the point and doesn't waste time rewriting the documentation, instead focusing on application of the concepts. The book is sold as "a masterclass in full stack development with Vue and Laravel" which I think it lives up to.Could have gotten into more detail on Webpack, though I guess you can't expect everything from a single book.

A good book to learn VueJS
The title of the book is Fullstack with VueJS2 and Laravel5. But most of the contents are focused in VueJS2.Because I already have experience with Laravel then I dont need much time to understand about settings with Laravel.In my opinion, if you don't have any idea about web programming, then you better should begin with Laravel first. Laravel Up and Running is a good book too, but it does not provide any good project for you to work with that, so it would be better if you try to make a CRUD or todo list with Laravel then go with VueJS

This book connects all the puzzle pieces to have a great app base
Being off web development for some years, I needed to get up to date to get hands on new projects, so I ran into tons of documentation, tutorials and videos about laravel, then found vue, then found SPA, then found Vuex, and so on, but didnt manage to feel comfortable with how i was trying to merge all those until now. The way Anthony goes through this book gives you the guidelines to how and why you merge those frameworks, giving you a nice base to buid your apps. I consider the price as high, but yeah I consider it was worth it
