This article is part of the A New Vue On JavaScript30 series that explores re-implementing Wes Bos’s (@wesbos) #JavaScript30 projects using Vue. Today I will be tackling #JavaScript30’s 05 - Flex Panel Gallery project. This project displays a page of five images in vertical slices with words on them. When an image is clicked there is a neat animation to expand the image and slide in some additional text.

Inspired by the syntax.fm podcast episode on website accessibility (a11y), I decided to try out the aXe browser extension created by Deque Systems. Though Wes and Scott mention several interesting tools, this one appealed to me because it sounded both robust and easy to use.

Today we will be working with the third of Wes Bos’s (@wesbos) #JavaScript30 projects titled: 03 - CSS Variables. This project uses an HTML inputs to control CSS variables to change an image’s blur, padding, and background color.

Today we will be working with the second of Wes Bos’s (@wesbos) #JavaScript30 projects titled: 02 - JS and CSS Clock.

A few months ago, I worked through the JavaScript30 video tutorial series created by Wes Bos (@wesbos) as a way improve my JavaScript skills. While I didn’t keep up with his one a day recommendation, I did 2 a week, I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Part of what drew me to JavaScript30 was that it is entirely written with vanilla JS - no frameworks, no libraries, and no compilers. But as I got into it, I was left wondering, what would it look like if Vue were used? With this series I will explore the differences between the two approaches.
