Hi all.
I want to start developing web/mobile apps using Vue + Ionic (for mobile). My specific question is: should I signup for a Vue or Ionic+Vue course? I’m a fast learner, plus I have basic knowledge of JS and PHP.
TIA
Hey @vazquezjm! It’s great to see another PHP dev in the Ionic community 
I’m an avid Laravel developer and have been developing my first Ionic Vue app this past year.
I would say just taking a course in Vue would get you a very long way. Picking up Ionic should be fairly straightforward once you have a good understanding of Vue. An Ionic course could be useful once you get into the more advanced features like custom animations and gestures.
A couple of other items:
- Try to stick with TypeScript even though it may feel overwhelming at first
- Be aware of the Ionic specific Lifecycle Methods
- Make sure you use an IonPage on each of your pages. It is needed for Ionic to work properly.
EDIT: Also, if you are going to reach for state management in Vue, I would highly recommend looking at Pinia over Vuex. Pinia is maintained by a Vue team member and is looking to be the next iteration of Vuex.
Big fan of Laravel as well! In fact, the backend will be built on it 
So, looks like watching a couple of YT videos will suffice, like https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4cUxeGkcC9hYYGbV60Vq3IXYNfDk8At1 (which in fact is what I was doing). And when the time comes, I can go deeper into Vue and/or Ionic courses.
Nice! Our backend is of course built on Laravel as well. Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions. I am here and also on Ionic’s Discord.
Checkout my YouTube channel there is a separate playlist on ionic and vuejs content specifically. I cover vuex, pinia, form validation and much more… feel free to ask any questions and there is usually source code for everything
