I just went through the whole 'getting started' guide [1], reading everything, looking at the examples, and playing around in my own npm playground to see if I really got it.
I still consider myself a novice, I've only spent about 6 hours playing with it, but I'm already able to write my own components, communicate between them using events, set up data model for my app, binding the data model to bootstrap components in my templates, etc. Not bad for someone completely new to web development. Which says a lot more about Vue.js than about my own capabilities ;-)
One tip I can give you is to take a very good look at the Vue 1 to Vue 2 changes [2], and all the things that have been deprecated in Vue 2 (quite a lot). The big mistake I made was to mess around with examples written for Vue 1 and thinking there was some problem with the framework itself, while all of it was because I was using deprecated features (e.g. the event system has changed significantly).
It's still pretty ripe big guy. You keep promoting it like you are further along. I kept looking thinking there was more and there wasn't. Great start and I'm even happy to assist you, but ease up on the promo unless yare inviting people to contribute.
Just a suggestion as someone who is keen to see a ton more on 2.x and is even also keen to help others like yourself; not against you or your efforts at all.
Pls don't take this personally, but I am not entirely sure what the problem is. I didn't say "I wrote one", I said, "I am writing one", which means it is not yet finished and is a work in progress.
Does the guide include state management? As a newbie I face that problem. I was able to figure out how to use vue-resource, rendering, components, the next step in my learning cycle is to understand how to interact with a JWT server, set tokens and do state management. I don't even understand anything by the words state management :D
