DejaVue Secure your Vue and Nuxt applications (with Jakub Andrzejewski)
Security is a topic that is often overlooked in the frontend world. But at least for you all - no longer! To make sure we cover Security for Vue and Nuxt applications as broad as possible, Michael and Alex are joined by Jakub Andrzejewski, who is not only a Senior Frontend Developer but also author of the Nuxt Security Module. We cover not only the module but also how to avoid common security mistakes as a Vue developer and how to protect your applications from vulnerabilities, and which are the most common ones.
Of course, we can't miss out on the State of Vue.js Survey, which is currently running and was co-created by Jakub as well!
Besides talking about the Security and the State of Vue.js, we also discuss how Jakub got into Vue.js at first and how he perceived the transition to Vue 3 and the Composition API.
Enjoy the episode!
