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).
