NuxtJS is a framework built on top of Vue that offers additional features and benefits, especially for large-scale and content-driven projects. It provides server-side rendering, which can improve performance and SEO.

In this course, you’ll get briefly introduced to Vue, covering components, views, routing, state management, and others. Then, you’ll get acquainted with NuxtJS and learn about configuration and structure for NuxtJS projects. Further, you’ll learn about different NuxtJS rendering modes and the key factors to consider when choosing a mode for the example survey application project. You’ll work with NuxtJS components, pages, layouts, plugins, and middleware. You’ll then develop a complete server-side rendered Vue.js application using NuxtJS and learn about optimizing server-side rendered applications for SEO and performance.

By the end of the course, you’ll possess the skills to develop, deploy, and optimize a feature-rich, server-side rendered web application utilizing Vue and NuxtJS.

# Deploying the survey project on Vercel

Vercel allows us to deploy code hosted in GitHub repositories. Therefore, it's essential to fork the survey application from [this repository](https://github.com/Damilare1/educative-survey-app) into our GitHub repository before proceeding with the deployment.

For this sample deployment, we can use the API URL provided by Educative when the widget below is run. The widget is ephemeral, so it's only good for a preview.
