VoV 004: Vue Documentation with Chris Fritz

Panel:

Charles Max Wood
John Papa

Special Guests: Chris Fritz

In this episode of Views on Vue, the panelists discuss Vue documentation with Chris Fritz. Chris is the curator for documentation on the Vue core team, works on a lot of tooling to help support Vue developers, and develops resources such as the Style Guide. They talk about what he is looking for when curating the documentation and what makes good documentation.  Chris originally had a background in teaching as a language teacher with a minor in computer science, and this experience helps him today teach people how to learn the Vue language.

In particular, we dive pretty deep on:
